History
The building, which dates from 1785, was substantially rebuilt to the designs of William Farrell in the Neoclassical style in 1822.[1] The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Fermanagh County Council.[2] The county council moved to County Buildings in East Bridge Street in 1960.[3]
