    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Orthodox Church Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • fusion-of-horizons said:
    Thank you very much for adding these 3 wonderful photos to the group! p.s. -the monasteries on Mount Athos are part of the Eastern Orthodox Church not Roman Catholic Church, as suggested by the ""catholic" tag

    The convent on the 25" map. The building marked School there is still standing, and renovated as offices: streetview Edit: wrong School! See the beachcomber's comment below for the correct one.

    The teaser from the BNA index for Freeman's Journal on 9th October 1893: "LiNEN WEAVING AT THE CONVENT OF MERCY, SKIBBEREEN. It will be in the recollection of our readers that in 1889 the nuns of the Convent of Mercy, Skibbereen, first made the experiment of introducing the art of linen weaving by hand looms into the .."

    It was taken before 1908 ...see date on building www.google.ie/maps/@52.1381891,-8.2752926,3a,53.4y,102.73...

    I think it is before the 1899 provincial Bank, too, now the AIB.

    I think this image pre-dates the L_ROY_00062 image posted by Sharon Corbet - Note the differences in the facade of the large 12-bay block at the top of the square. In this image, the facade is fairly plain and the two bays at either end have old 6-over-6 Georgian sashes. In L_ROY_00062, the windows are all updated to one-pane-per sash, plaster hood mouldings have been placed over the windows in the central 4 bays and the 4 bays on the right, and a balustrade has been installed on top of the building at the right - that's still there (see Streetview provided by O Mac). Mannix's shop in the older image is replaced by O'Brien's in L_ROY_00062.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the far side of the square at right, we see Mannix and Smith, in Sharon's shot above we saw O'Brien and Eager. I think this one is earlier...
