Must be before 1880, or we would see this building on the West pier. Edit - no, squinting harder at megazoom, I DO see that building, so it is after 1880. Reading the DIA entry, it is a vague c.1880, so not much help. Towards the end of the STP range, anyhow.

I strongly believe that there is a dog (stereo dogs) in this photo. I just have not found it yet!

Fascinating to see what several of those buildings were from the old 6" map - maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,728699,739061,10,8

From the same viewpoint for comparison - Mr French / Lawrence (c.1900 - the church is 1899 but no tower) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000040815 And the LPP (1990) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000354525

Bing Bird's Eye view of the Island. (Google's version is half covered in clouds. Though at least Google is aware of Garinish Island - if you try a "road" map in Bing, Garinish disappears completely...)
