Dublin Other Designations: Other Details: th National or Recorded Not Applicable Date of Construction Turn of the 20 Monument Century Architectural Conservation Malahide Structure Type Dwelling Area Historic Core ACA Ministerial Recommendation 11344003 Categories of Special Architectural, Artistic, under NIAH Interest Technical Description Semi-detached three-bay two storey gable-fronted house, built c.1910. The house is built from Portmarnock brick. It has decorative terracotta panels with festoon mouldings forming a frieze at first floor level and decorative terracotta tiles at the top of gable on the front elevation that embellish the facade. Its pitched slate roof has four brick chimneys, two of which are angled on the diagonal. The house is set back from the street by a small garden with a concrete boundary wall that has square gate piers supporting a decorative metal loop over the gate Appraisal This house is reflective of the Arts and Crafts style with its rich external detailing and decoration. This style though was not practiced to a great extent by architects in Ireland and so there are not many buildings in the country in the Arts and Crafts idiom. This places architectural significance on those that do exist. The use of Portmarnock brick from the Portmarnock Brick and Terracota Works also adds to the artistic and technical significance of this building. Its style and materials compliment the adjacent Carnegie Library RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Kincora, The Mall, Malahide, Co. Dublin is added to the Record of Protected Structures. 164 Proposed Addition to Record of Protected Structures The Mall, Malahide, Co.

Dublin Other Designations: Other Details: National or Recorded Not Applicable Date of Construction Late19th Century Monument Architectural Conservation Not Applicable Structure Type Forge Area Ministerial Recommendation 11350032 Categories of Special Social, Technical under NIAH Interest Description A single-celled single-storey late nineteenth-century rubble stone forge or smithy with a distinctive horseshoe-shaped entrance, located at a staggered crossroads on the Drumnigh Road. It has a pitched roof with corrugated sheeted covering. Appraisal Forges and smithies were important elements in the rural economy for the making of metal articles for farming and domestic use such as gates, ploughs, railings, tools, horse shoes etc. They were places of industry that served the local community and were often located at crossroads. However, they are now are a very rare building type nationally and this forge in Portmarnock with its distinctive horseshoe shaped entrance is the only known one of this design in Fingal. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Old Forge, Drumnigh Road (R124), Portmarnock, Co. Dublin is added to the Record of Protected Structures. 166 Proposed Addition to Record of Protected Structures Drumnigh Road (R124), Portmarnock, Co.

Dublin Other Designations: Other Details: National or Recorded Not Applicable Date of Construction Late 19th Century Monument Architectural Conservation Not Applicable Structure Type Gate Lodge Area Ministerial Recommendation 11351003 Categories of Special Architectural, under NIAH Interest Technical Description A three bay, single-storey with dormer attic former gate lodge, built c.1896 to the designs of Sir Robert Lorimer. The walls are red brick with ashlar granite dressings to the openings and a hipped slate roof with dormer windows. Includes the original southern gated entrance to the former St. Marnock’s House (now Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Club). Which was the home of John Jameson, of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Appraisal An attractive late 19th Century, former gate lodge in red brick that served the former St. Marnock’s House. It was one of a pair of lodges. The North Lodge though was damaged by fire in 1960’s and so, only part of it survived in a rebuilt dormer bungalow. The south lodge though does retain much of its historic fabric and original aspect. The entrance to the lodge with its granite gate piers and decorative iron gates, previously functioned as the southern entrance to St. Marnock’s house. The building is by a known architect from Scotland, was built of Portmarnock Brick and was the lodge to the home of one of the Jameson’s of Jameson Irish Whiskey which all contributed to the special interest of the property. The use of Portmarnock brick from the Portmarnock Brick and Terracota Works adds to the artistic and technical significance of this building. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that South Lodge, Strand Road, Burrow, Portmarnock, Co. Dublin is added to the Record of Protected Structures. 168 Proposed Addition to Record of Protected Structures Strand Road, Burrow, Portmarnock, Co.

Dublin Other Designations: Other Details: National or Recorded Not Applicable Date of Construction Mid 19th Century Monument Architectural Conservation Not Applicable Structure Type Former House Area Ministerial Recommendation 11351004 Categories of Special Architectural, Historical under NIAH Interest Description Detached 2 storey over-basement 4-bay former house, constructed in 1847 for John Jameson (of the renowned Jameson Irish Whiskey distillery) and originally known as St Marnock’s House. It was remodelled in 1895 to the designs of Sir Robert Stodart Lorimer. Rectangular on plan with full-height bow windows to the corners (except NE). Converted for hotel/golf club purposes in mid-20th Century. Substantial modern additions to NE & NW. Appraisal Despite the change of use, successive refurbishments, and modern extensions, the historic core of the original house remains intact. The façade is significant as it illustrates the decorative restraint and balanced proportions of the original structure, which contrast sharply with the 1895 additions, which are characteristic of the late 19th century desire for eclectic embellishment. The interior has had much refurbishment but a significant proportion of ornate historic detailing and fabric is retained, embodying high craft value. Sir Robert Lorimer who remodelled and extended the house in 1895 is a prolific and renowned Scottish architect. He also created a new garden and designed new gates and gate lodges for the property. The building is also significant due to the connection with the Jameson family. The proposed protection relates to the historic house only and not the modern hotel extensions and club buildings. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the original historic house (excluding late 20th hotel extensions and club buildings) at the core of Portmarnock Hotel and Gold Club, Strand Road, Burrow, Portmarnock, Co. Dublin is added to the RPS. 170 Proposed Addition to Record of Protected Structures ^_ RPS Review Ref A052 Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Club, Strand Road, Burrow, Portmarnock, Co.

Located on the sea front at the Velvet Strand (Portmarnock Beach). The structure has a cast concrete base with timber uprights between the eight square-heading openings. The pointed roof has overhanging eaves on profiled timber corbels. Appraisal An iconic but rare type of structure that is one of only a handful still surviving in Ireland and the only one of its kind in Fingal. It is of social merit as a distinctive landmark of Portmarnock from its heyday in the mid-20th Century as a seaside holiday destination. It is evident in photographs from this period and was the archetypal image of a day out at Portmarnock Beach. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Kiosk,
