An exterior view of the old Capuchin Friary building on Walkin Street in Kilkenny. There appears to be scaffolding erected in the background. In December 1873, the foundation stone was laid for a new Friary running parallel to Walkin Street. In 1889 a lease was obtained for a small garden adjoining the Friary and in July 1896 the site of the old alms house was obtained from the Most Rev. Abraham Brownrigg (1836-1928), Bishop of Ossory. This allowed for the building of an additional wing to the Friary in 1897. This new wing was located at right angles to Walkin Street and extended to Pennyfeather Lane.
