    Bellevue was a Big House, now gone. GeoHive OSI 25", I think all the crosshatched buildings are glasshouses.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A google maps aerial view shows the walls standing, but the glass is all gone.

    Many entries in the DIA including a 264 ft range of conservatories in 1796, for Peter La Touche.

    " ... a 650-feet conservatory, which would house many exotic plants as well as an orangery, a cherry house, a peach house and a vinery. Completed in 1793, this magnificent creation was then the largest conservatory in Europe. ..." From www.greystonesguide.ie/requiem-for-the-big-house-on-the-h... - includes a YouTube video of a walk around the grounds with locals holding a copy of this photo.

    Ha ha! Beautiful gardens were laid out with winding paths and "extras" built by David and his son, Peter, when he inherited in 1785. Among these was the Octagon, built in 1766, with a panther on springs, which could be made to jump out at unwary visitors. The house was most famous for its huge glasshouse, built between 1783 and 1793, in which many exotic plants were grown.

    Is this now the Guiness Storehouse "brand experience" tourist attraction?

    I think so - google aerial view.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per wikipedia The building in which the Storehouse is located was constructed in 1902 as a fermentation plant for the St. James's Gate Brewery (where yeast is added to the brew). The building was designed in the style of the Chicago School of Architecture and was the first multi-storey steel-framed building to be constructed in Ireland.
