Sedes Sapientiae or Seat of Wisdom on Baggot Street, Dublin

    That quite a door for a back door, but surely they wouldn't hang the sheets out in front either. Just had a look up Baggot St. on Google Maps but didn't see a roof like that anywhere. Perhaps it was demolished to build some ugly office block.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] If it is Baggot Street, I would have plumped for Lower (the end closest to Stephen's Green), but that would really mean the area where Bank of Ireland head office is. Most of the Georgian fabric has miraculously survived down that end. Baggot Street Hospital dominates one side of Upper Baggot Street, and on the facing side, don't think there was room for a terrace of houses between Baggot St. and Fleming's Place/Burlington Road... Where's Niall and his OSI maps when you need him?
  • heady school said:
    Think I've found it on an OS map, but have not yet figured out how to link to that spot. Yes, Lower Baggot St, but it has been demolished. Between East James St. and Herbert St, there was a small lane called Adelaide Place. That's it on the lower left with the gas lamps. Approx here. Oh wait. Try this OS map link.

    Think This Might be it or at least half of it link text In the early 1830s Catherine McAuley started training courses in the Baggot Street Convent to qualify able students who wished to become governesses or teachers in various schools throughout Ireland. When the principle of denominational training was accepted, the ‘Sedes Sapientiae’ (Seat of Wisdom) Training School in Baggot Street was recognised as a Teacher Training college for girls in 1883 and later transferred to Carysfort Training College, Blackrock, Dublin. Until then only 27% of Catholic teachers and 52% of Protestant teachers had graduated from training colleges.

    DannyM8's building looks exactly right, and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] has the location. In this Google image of the school that stands there now, I see what looks like a graveyard, but no such thing is marked on any map I can find The school is Scoil Chaitríona CBS primary school..
