    In the streetview, you can see a church . I believe that's where this was taken:

    Most of the Brothers standing in their habits in this are just teenagers! Nicely taken group. The chaps in mufti are mirroring the uniformed brothers in hiding their hands up their sleeves. "The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!" and all that

    Welcome back from your holiday ... a fascinating 1927 group portrait.
  • Robin Dude said:

    The Examination Hall appears to have been demolished in recent years: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,609797,603942,11,9 It is visible on the 25" map to the left of the building marked 'School' and is also visible on the aerial image from 1995, but it isn't there on the 2000 and 2005 images.

    DIA is super-helpful today: Name: BEARY, MICHAEL Building: CO. WATERFORD, MOUNT MELLERAY ABBEY (CAPPOQUIN) Date: ? Nature: MB designed buildings there which were demolished 1997. Refs: Information from from typescript note on Michael Beary written for the IAA by his great niece, Nellie Beary O'Cleirigh, 38 Templemore Avenue, Rathgar, Dublin 6, 10 Dec 1998.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From his bio there: he designed some buildings at Mount Melleray Abbey, which were demolished in 1997. He presented the monks with a stone carving of the Virgin which surmounted these buildings and which has been retained. So may be unrelated.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The church shown is also gone: replaced by a big Gothic church built from the stone from Mitchelstown Castle of recent memory:
    Mitchelstown Castle, Co. Cork
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Two of the NIAH pieces on Mount Melleray mention slate re-roofing and works in 1910 - from this and the Beary reference, I'll guess this is 1910-15. [Edit - nope!]

Tsenyi Khempo, Tibetan Buddhist monk, c. 1900
