Lost architecture of Kilkenny

Hi,
I was looking at a beautiful old picture of High Street from the 19th cen and I noticed a beautiful gabled structure by the Shee Alms house. It looks very old, possible as old as the Alms house. Does anyone here know what it was and when it was demolished?

It's kinda still there. I've seen an old photo where it was practically demolished, may have been on the Kilkenny down memory lane fb page. The national library of Ireland's website has remarkable digitalised old photos on their website. Here's a link to the buildings of Ireland page on that particular building.

Here's another government site that I use the whole time for researching materiel. https://webgis.archaeology.ie/historicenvironment/

Not impressed with the new shopfronts on Kieran's St, CakeFace and the barbers.
