Archiseek (via Windows Snipping Tool) -

"Originally built in the 1780s by the McClintock family and called Newtown House. In 1852 it was sold to a Drogheda merchant and shipbuilder called Ralph Smyth who extended it around 1870. It was redesigned with two elevations of similar architectural merit, both with fine dressed limestone porticos giving it an overall Italianate appearance. The house as it survives today is Smith's work, but a portion of the McClintock building survives at the east end of the south front.

In the early 1920's it was bought by Helen Lentaigne, who allowed the newly constituted Irish Countrywomen's Association to use Newtown House as a venue for one of the first ICA Summer Schools during the 1930's. In July 1945 Mrs Lentaigne sold Newtown House to the Irish Tourist
Board, who renovated the premises and opened the house as Tearman Hotel.

The seeds of An Grianan, were sown in 1952, when Muriel Gahan of the ICA proposed the idea for a residential college for social and educational purposes to Dr Morris, of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of America, through a chance introduction. It was purchased and entrusted for the benefit of the people of Ireland. In October 1954 it was officially opened by the then President of Ireland Sean T O'Kelly."

Rack & Ruin You beat me to it.

Catholic Standard - Friday 31 January 1958:

Actually the newsprint used in THE STANDARD is from Clondalkin Mills and Irish timber. It is just as satisfactory raw material thanks to the technicians who produce it anything coming from Canada or the Scandinavian countries.

I just realised from the tags that it's not Clondalkin Paper Mills, but I would guess that the poles were there as fodder for the mill.

I worked there around 1971/72, so my memory of it would be very fuzzy. Further perusal of the tags suggests they are poles that would have been used by the electricity board as electricity cable carrying poles on the streets. Duh!

Rack & Ruin John Spooner I think that you are both right and that the caption is incorrect. My experience of both ESB and P&T pole fields was that they were of varying length and a lot more higgledy piggledy tha those neat piles! The poles had also bee soaked in preservative and were smelly!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I have been trying to work out the geography, and cannot see the Round Tower close by (unless it's behind the trees), and what I thought was Orchard Road (where I lived), might not be it.
