    Okay - this is a shot in the dark & probably wrong, but this house at the end of James' Terrace looks somewhat similar. goo.gl/maps/LqbuHh3EFoQVfvZ56

    I was just thinking, I know that house, it's in Malahide, and then I read the caption. Here's streetview: goo.gl/maps/sf9ihnsnXhqDWBoS7

    Just to confirm - 1912 Thoms directory places St James Villa at the end of St James Terrace, and names the resident as J O'Connor.
  • Bernard Healy said:
    Okay - if someone has access to a set of Thoms directories, it might be useful to browse them. The 1892 directory is online & it looks as though James Terrace runs to 12 houses, with the Villa not being mentioned. The next directory I've found online is that of 1912 - and it has J O'Connor resident in it. I think the 1911 Census shows the Villa as empty - it mentions a house with 9 windows as part of James Terrace - that seems to be the villa - and it's listed as empty. That same house (9 windows) in the 1901 census contains the family of one William Bannister, a builder: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Malahide...

    Unusual early(?) white telegraph poles.

    The state of the Abbey was discussed at a meeting of Howth Urban Council in 1919. Under a somewhat sensationalist headline "RUINS OF HOWTH ABBEY Thirteenth Century Remains Threatened with Destruction" the report in the Dublin Evening Telegraph on Saturday 6 September 1919 contains these snippets:
    Children, she [Lady Boyd] said, came into the garden over the wall, stole anything they liked, and trampled and destroyed much more. Not only was the gate of the churchyard constantly left open but a great piece of the wall beside the house known as the College was broken down, and the place open to anyone who liked to go in. Mr. F. W. Higginbotham, Town Surveyor, said that a tourist told him it was the most disgraceful thing he had ever seen that the hlstoric old College was allowed to be used as a tenement house and the graveyard used for drying clothes. Some very curious house-like buildings, generally called the "College", are attached to an angle of the embattled wall. They are supposed to have been used by the ecclesiastics as dwelling-places. As interesting examples of fifteenth century architecture they are well worthy of notice, and something should be done to save them from impending destruction.
    From a quick look at streetview, I think the College is outside the left margin of the French photo. Also visible her: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000339629
