County House, Lifford

The County House (Irish: Teach an Chontae, Leifear) is a municipal building in Lifford, County Donegal, Ireland.

The building was originally constructed as a reformatory school for young offenders in around 1820.

[1] It was substantially rebuilt to the designs of William Harte, the county surveyor, in 1868[1] before being converted into a barracks for the British Army in around 1900 and then was taken over by the Free State Army on formation of the Irish Free State in 1922.

[2] In 1930, Donegal County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Lifford Courthouse,[3] acquired the property for use as its meeting place and administrative headquarters.
