Great to see-( later Cumberland Square Birr ) very pertinent to my family history! Date would probably be in the later years--my bedroom window when staying with grandparents (many years later!!!) would have been the fourth from top right!!

It's now Emmet Square "Cumberland Column, Emmet Square, Birr, County Offaly Freestanding ashlar limestone Doric column, erected in 1746, mounted on an ashlar pedestal with plinth and cornice. Located at the centre of Emmet Square. Lamp posts to each corner and protective cast-iron bollards surrounding platform. Formally supported statue of the Duke of Cumberland which was removed in the early twentieth century. Plaque inserted to pedestal reads: 'Erected by Birr Town Council to commemorate the bicentenary of the execution of Robert Emmet 1778-1803. Emmet Square was renamed in his honour in 1922. "When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not till then, let my epitaph be written", R. Emmet.' " www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&...

Quite a grand front door!
Niall McAuley said:
NIAH entry says: Round-headed door opening with spoked fanlight, sidelights and timber panelled door with pedimented porch having fluted Doric columns and dentil entablature. Mind you, it also says: Although a later addition, the elaborate Classically-styled porch enlivens the otherwise plain façade.

(Illustrated Glossary of Classical Architecture for anyone else who wants to know what "dentil entablature" means.)
Niall McAuley said:
The later addition was in place by 1909 when the OSI 25" survey was done.
