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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Its function until recently as a research and development centre for the horticultural industry links to Fingal’s long history from ancient times as a centre for food production for Dublin and so adds to the social interest of this building. The building is currently in use as an Educate Together National School

The slate roof has terracotta ridge tiles and a redbrick chimney stack. There is an extension to the north elevation, c.1980. Now in use as school hall.

Appraisal

The original school building is a fine example of late nineteenth century school design. John Holmes, Architect, was commissioned by the vestry of Howth Church of Ireland to design a new school in 1881. The exterior retains historic materials and characteristic Gothic-influenced detailing typical of the period. It has remained in use as a school hall, following the construction of a modern school to the north-east, representing over a century of continued service within the community. The modern school building is not part of the Protected Structure designation.

Description

‘Seaside’ is a detached three-bay, two-storey (with attic accommodation) gothic revival style house. It was built in the late 19th Century prior to 1870 as is evident on second edition of Ordnance Survey Maps published in 1872. The alternating brick banding and stonework on the external elevations is intricate and finely detailed with a number of different designs to the various layers. There is an eclectic mix of windows with square and round headed window openings as well as small quatre foils at eaves level. It has a steeply pitched slate roof with brick chimneys. The interior was much simpler in detail with small room sizes and restricted layout. The interior though has been stripped out apart from one room with Victorian detailing.

Appraisal

“Seaside” is a rare example of a domestic house in the gothic revival style in Ireland. It is of special artistic and architectural interest due to the high level of skill and external craftsmanship displayed in the execution of the design. Planning permission has been granted under F14A10528 for internal alterations and extensions to the rear and side. This was assessed in the knowledge of its potential proposal for addition to the Record of Protected Structures.

The church is built in concrete with a band of high level glazing and clerestory windows at the apex of the roof.

Appraisal

An excellent example of a post-Vatican II modernist church in Dublin, by renowned modernist Irish architect Andrew Devane, of Robinson Keefe Devane. It exhibits many representative features of Devane’s work such as the enclosed atrium, tall bell tower and copper roof, as seen in his earlier church at Dublin Airport. It is a fine example of modernist ecclesiastical styling. The interior is architecturally coherent, retaining original fabric. It is of architectural significance due to its style, plan and materials. The attached parish centre is being enlarged and rebuilt; it is not of the same quality of design as the church.

Description

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built in 1933 in an International Modern style, to the designs of Michael Scott. It has a flat roof concealed by a parapet, balcony with a canopy over a glazed porch. There is a full-height extension to the east and north-east, and a single-storey garage in matching style abuts to north.

Appraisal

This is a fine example of a Modern movement house, designed by Michael Scott, one of Ireland’s foremost 20th century architects. While it is one of his earlier domestic designs it still belies his interest in the Internal Modern style, which became more popular in the mid-20th century for domestic architecture. The decorative steel balcony lightens the solid massing of the building. Elements of Mediterranean style, such as tiled cills, have been subtly incorporated, befitting the coastal aspect of the house. The name Ceuta is after a Spanish town in North Africa where the original owners spent their honeymoon. A recent extension, by Mary Laheen Architects, hidden to the rear of the building, has respected the architectural character of the house. Though replacements, the windows were manufactured by the Crittal company, respecting Scott’s original intended look.

Description

Detached, 3-bay single-storey-over-basement, early 19th century villa with a hipped bay window on the south-eastern elevation. The main entrance door is accessed via a flight of granite steps. The door case is a timber panelled door with cob web fanlight and leaded side lights. There are hood mouldings over the window openings and irregular quoins. The house is set within landscaped gardens with a meadow area to the front, stable and coach house buildings which have been modernised.

Appraisal

Sea Lawn is an important early nineteenth-century villa-style house. It is shown on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey Maps (c.1837-43) as “Sorrento”. The house survives substantially intact, after being restored by current owners, and is enhanced by its boundary, treatment and setting. Elements of note include a fine regency door case, masonry detailing, and entrance steps. It is of historical significance as the home of Sir John Mahaffy Irish Classicist and Doctor of Music. He was president of the Royal Irish Academy and Provost of Trinity College in the early 20th Century. Oscar Wilde, play write and novelist, visited Mahaffy here and stayed at the property.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Sea Lawn, Shielmartin Road, Sutton South, Sutton, Dublin 13 is added to the Record of Protected Structures.

Architectural Conservation Not Applicable Structure Type Bridge Abutment Area

Ministerial Recommendation 11359002 Categories of Special Technical under NIAH Interest

Description

Snecked limestone abutment with red-brick, single-span arch and yellow-brick string course that carried the former hill of Howth tramline to an elevated position to cross over the Howth Road via a metal bridge. Built circa 1900 the abutment now houses a café within the arch.

Appraisal

The Hill of Howth Tramway operated from 1901 to 1959 and connected the train stations of Sutton and Howth via a circuit around the Hill of Howth. This abutment to the metal bridge that used to cross the road is one of the few surviving structural infrastructure of the tramline. The abutment has been altered to contain a café within its arch and large advertising boards obscure it from view, but as a surviving element of the last electrical tramway in the country it is of technical importance.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Abutment to Former Hill of Howth Tramway Bridge, Howth Road, Howth Demesne, Howth, Dublin 13 is added to the Record of Protected Structures.

Other Designations: Other Details:

National or Recorded Not Applicable Date of Construction 19th Century Monument

Architectural Conservation Not Applicable Structure Type Former Warehouse Area

Ministerial Recommendation 11359039 Categories of Special Technical under NIAH Interest

Description

Gable-fronted, three-bay, two-storey building on the West Pier of Howth Harbour from the late 19th Century. It has a pitched roof covered in corrugated metal. The front elevation has regular quoins and decorative surrounds to the window and door openings with vermiculated keystones. On the upper floor one of the openings is a loft door that goods could be hoisted up to.

Appraisal

This modest building was likely built as a store or warehouse for a shipbuilder or fisherman who worked at Howth Harbour and therefore is part of the industrial heritage of Fingal. While modest in scale the ornamentation to the façade is of interest and differentiates this building from other warehouses on the pier.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Former Warehouse, West Pier, Howth Harbour, Howth Demesne, Howth, Dublin 13 Dublin is added to the Record of Protected Structures.

Description Early 19th century detached house that has been modified and extended over time. The oldest part of the house is along the southern elevation. The current form is a two-storey over basement building with a full height return to the rear and an early 20th century two-storey wing added to the south-east. It has hipped slate roofs and roughcast rendered walls, with a single-storey bowed end to the south- east elevation. There are outbuildings to the rear of the house. Appraisal The Cliffs is a fine example of an early nineteenth century villa which was enlarged to meet the needs of the owners. The interior is particularly well preserved, with features dating from the early nineteenth to mid-twentieth century and so of architectural interest. Dublin Almanac of 1834 lists William Stewart Bellingham as the occupier. The house remains in the ownership of the same family. It is unusual nowadays for a consistent history of ownership for such an extensive period. The Cliffs has also had notable visitors from the Irish Arts world that stayed in the house, including the late 19th/early 20th century artists Nathaniel Hone (the younger), Walter Fredrick Osborne and William Orpen. RECOMMENDATION: That The Cliffs, Carrickbrack Road, Sutton South, Howth, Dublin 13 is added to the Record of Protected Structures.
