Surely this building would be given Heiratage status, with the history of the building and the role it played throughout it's history.

If it were deemed to be a Heiratage site, then it would have to be saved and restored to its former glory.

I think that there are genuine grounds for a petition to have it declared a Heiratage site.

I was born in Cobh, lived most of my life in Cobh, at one time I lived in a flat on East Beach, across the road from this exceptional piece of architecture and apart from the Cathedral, I think that it is one of the nicest buildings on the coastline of Cobh.

As I live in Southampton at the moment, I can only hope that others will recognise the beauty of this old building and form a petition to have it declared a Heiratage site.

Don't let them rob you of this outstanding landmark.

It’s a beautiful building and would be a shame to let it continue to decay. My own grandmother left for America from Cobh, as did many others. Perhaps a fundraising campaign could be initiated to restore the building in their memory, and involve those of us on the other shore.
