Kiemar House has Mass appeal

A FORMER church-like Victorian school building converted to offices, next to what’s been used as a Tridentine Church in Cork City’s Shanakiel/Sunday’s Well is up for sale.

Close to Sunday’s Well, Kiemar House dates to the late 1800s and was built at a time when neighbours included the wealthy middle class, the City Gaol, and the Good Shepherd Convent.

Now, the Gaol’s a visitor attraction, the recently-burned out convent has been bought by Northern Ireland-based developers for over €1.5m for an upmarket apartment development, and Kiemar House faces new uses.
