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

And some OSI, why not? bit.ly/3qjeD2P

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.

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...

If this is the correct Sea Park OSI Historic 25" then it is long gone and replaced by suburbia Current Street Map

Here is the location from The Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

You've got the map pointed to the wrong place - it was on the corner of Grove Road (maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,722944,745798,11,9), but yes, it's long gone.

I did a paper round in that area in the early 80's, before Marley was built. There was some big old house there then with a large dog and a tennis court. I can't remember if it looked like that or if it was already gone by then.

There is a dog......

It looks like it might be this windmill: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,720250,744524,11,7 If so, it appears that the site (and the base of the structure) may have been preserved on a promontory within the quarry: binged.it/2xO0y4W

Rory Sherlock The Bing bird's eye view is pretty cool, too.

From the Independent July 1 2005 Feltrim Windmill THE story of the Feltrim windmill is one of the most dramatic in terms of Fingal’s heritage. Had it stood today, it would have matched Skerries for one of the most beautiful sights in the region. All that remains of the structure is part of the interior but even that is striking in its design. It should be noted that the structure is fenced off and on private property. The Feltrim windmill was built in the late 1600s from red Dutch bricks (still there) and by Dutch workers. It was used as a woolen mill to start and then a corn mill for up to 100 years, ending in the great storm of 1839 when the giant sails were blown off. It still stood magnificently for many decades later until 1973 when it was demolished on a Saturday night, ending centuries of dominance of the Feltrim skyline.
