- Carlow Town Hall
- The Town hall is situated on the
north side of the Haymarket and was designed by the Church
architect William Hague in 1884. The Haymarket was the trading centre
for Carlow. A number of markets dotted around the town - the Potato
Market and Butter Market, for example, indicate the strong
agricultural focus of the town.

The old jail in Carlow
which was situated at the top of Bridewell Lane. Many of the 1798
rebels were interred here.
We are told that many of the
prisoners could look out through the top windows and see their
fellow rebels being tortured and put to death in the barrack
yard in Barrack Street. Soon after this photo was taken a
major refurbishment of the building was undertaken by R.N.
Gillespie Ltd. In the 1990s the building was demolished
and is now replaced by modern shops and apartments

- Another picture of the Masonic Lodge
appears in 'Carlow in Old Picture Postcards by Michael Purcell (1994),

Edward Brophy of Dublin Road, Carlow. It was designed by W. Morrison.
There used to be eight small houses to the right of the Lodge; they
were built for the employees of Haughton's grain store.
