Artisan Dwelling - Crompton Row, Birr
Artisan Dwelling - Crompton Row, Birr
In 1817, the second Earl of Rosse granted a lease to a local builder John Crompton, to build a row of cottages to the east of the town. This effort to house estate workers and labourers, preceded by several decades the Labourers Acts of the late 19th Century which sought to address the problem of housing of the rural poor in Ireland. The present houses shown here replaced the originals in 1910 and were part of the improvements of the road from St John’s Mall to the new bridge. The architectural style of the houses reflects the use of the “English vernacular” style common on other artisan dwellings in the town. A typical feature of this style is the use of carved wooden details as found on all the front porches of the terrace. Many of the original architectural features remain in this terrace; including the small sash windows and chimneys. The original foundation stone of 1820 seen here to right of right window was incorporated into the 1910 development.
