    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.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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.

    That's a bit of a blasted heath for a greenhouse. It looks like west Cork or Connemara!
  • derangedlemur said:
    I can't be sure from this picture but it looks quite like Kylemore Abbey: www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... "extensive group of mainly ruinous glasshouses to north-east quadrant", it says.

    Kylemore Abbey!

    Walled Victorian Garden

    They are very ornate glasshouses. A sort of arched roof on each!

    Taken looking over the wall from the People's Garden in Phoenix Park. GeoHive 25" shows the greenhouses.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From the archive, a Malton which is earlier and in colour!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIA it may be by James Gandon or may be William Gibson, and opened in 1790. That Malton is from 1794 when it was brand new.
  • O Mac said:
    What became of the front door?
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    A synonym for the Royal Infirmary could be the Royal Pain!
