Our home
The old Ulster Bank, Ballinrobe
Slí Nua Studio lives inside the former Ulster Bank on the corner of Glebe Street and Abbey Street. Built around 1875, this four-bay, three-storey cut-limestone banking house is listed on Mayo County Council's record of protected structures.
Its grand Victorian proportions once served the town's poultry market and merchant trade. Today the same walls host learning, making and community life, a new civic use for a building that has always belonged to the town.
Historical detail adapted from Ulster Bank Building by Averil Staunton, Historical Ballinrobe.
