Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Designed by Sir Charles Lanyon, the almshouses were built with finances from the will of Henry Gill in 1842.
Gill left £10 per year for fourteen "aged men decayed in their circumstances, provided they were not inclined to drunkenness and that they were remarkable for their inoffensiveness".
The building was extensively renovated for use as old peoples' dwellings in 1980.
