Northern Bank, Mohill, Co. Leitrim

Another building for today with a unique design for a bank...While we haven't been able to refine the date range significantly, there's a suggestion that the lady tending the window boxes (yes - there she is over the door on the flat roof) is a member of the household ( http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002711298/ ) of William Charles Smith ( http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Mohill/Main_Street/659867/ ) , who was manager of the branch in the early 20th century. We also learn that the building's Art Nouveau architecture was possibly designed by W.H. Byrne or Godfrey William Ferguson ( http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=LE®no=30816009 ) , and dates to c.1905 (plus or minus a few years)......Photographer: Unknown. .Collection: Eason Photographic Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000033799 ) . .Date: between ca. 1900-1939. .NLI Ref: EAS_4038 ( vtls000559648 ) . .You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
