Scope and content
This technical drawing details the mechanical plumbing infrastructure for the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown, County Cork. Drawn to a scale of 1/8 inch to one foot, the plan features a dedicated schematic for water tanks and boiler setups alongside comprehensive floor-by-floor layouts. Distinctive red colour washes highlight the specific routing of hot and cold water networks, connecting main supply feeds to individual cells, communal spaces, and sanitary facilities throughout the building complex. The file contains several other drawings outlining the layout of other utilities in the building.
