Sheahan would go on to design St Anne’s Vocational School on George’s Quay (LSAD today), the Athlunkard Rowing Club, the University of Limerick Hospital and the Mid-West Regional Maternity Hospital amongst others. The new hospital which opened in 1933 was designed in an Art Deco style by Limerick architect Patrick J Sheahan (1893 – 1965) of Sheahan & Clery. Due to desperately low funding being made available there was little choice but to base the re-organised scheme of hospitals on the existing buildings. The passing of the Local Government Act of 1925 meant that the Boards of Guardians ( 3) were abolished, and workhouses closed. The existing public hospital system was based on the British Poor Law system.

'Light on the past: Story of St Mary's Limerick 1838-1938'Īfter the establishment of the Free State one of the first issues to be tackled by the government was the health of the nation. New tuberculosis hospital after completion from Brendan Connellan's book The threat of being sent to the ‘City Home’ would silence any naughty child in Limerick. It was a multi-purpose health and welfare institution for the treatment of fever patients, the elderly and the confinement of unmarried mothers and their babies. In 1920 the Limerick Union Workhouse was converted in the Limerick City Home run by the County Board of Health. They lived in the adjoining convent dedicated to St Camillus from which the hospital derived its name. It was the first workhouse facility in the country where the Mercy Sisters ministered (since 1860). They were moved here after the closure of the House of Industry which later became the Strand Barracks ( 2). The Limerick Union Workhouse was designed to hold 1,600 inmates consisting of the aged poor, the destitute, the sick and deserted women and children. It was once isolated from the city, however, suburbia would soon swallow it up. It sits within a 12-acre site on the east side of Shelbourne Road to the north-west of the city.
This Tudor-Gothic style building was constructed in 1839 – 41 to the design of George Wilkinson. St Camillus’ Hospital was constructed on the site of a nineteenth-century Limerick Union Workhouse and associated infirmary. This block would become St Camillus’ Hospital. The Limerick County Borough Board of Health soon set amount applying for sanatorium grants to establish a 'separate block of the City Home and Hospital for the reception and treatment of advanced cases of Tuberculoisis’ ( 1) under Section 6 of the Public Charitable Hospitals (Amendment) Act 1931. In 1931 the urgent need for a hospital in Limerick for the treatment of tuberculosis and other contractible diseases was identified, caused mainly by slum housing in the city.
Nevertheless, it was also applied to hospitals like this one in the city of Limerick. Art Deco's streamlined appearance may be more commonly used in this country for the cinemas and the dance halls of the 1930s.
