Pery Square (Irish: Cearnóg an Pheirigh) is a Georgian Terrace located in the Newtown Pery area of Limerick city, Ireland. The terrace was constructed as a speculative development by the Pery Square Tontine Company between 1835 and 1838.[1] The square was named in honour of the politician Edmund Sexton Pery.[2] The terrace is notable as one of the finest examples of late Georgian architecture in Limerick and Ireland.
