We were delighted to join @SusanRoundtree3 last night for the launch of "Brickmaking in Ireland: A Gazetteer" in the @Arch_Archive This long-awaited book is a fascinating study of the architectural, industrial & social history of brickmaking in Ireland. Congratulations Susan! 👏

@emilymfg @antareswells @RPShistgroup @GettyMuseum @NBGGlasnevinOPW @opwireland It is indeed the Curvilinear Range in @NBGGlasnevinOPW and was built in stages from 1843 to 1848 & extended in 1868. The Curvilinear Range is an upcoming Gem of Architecture in @HistIreHedge

@antareswells @RPShistgroup @GettyMuseum @NBGGlasnevinOPW @opwireland * correction: I think it might be Curvilinear glasshouse range at Glasnevin, which would make it fit with the suggested date range; @opwireland can confirm buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-sear…

@signwriteire A slightly larger version of the full front for you. Graiguenamanagh #Kilkenny has lots of funky finishes 😍

“Fine detailing enhancing the architectural design value of the composition includes diamond-pointed rustication to the wall surface…such surface detailing can be considered a characteristic particular to the architectural heritage of Graiguenamanagh.”

@IrHeritageTrust @DubCityCouncil @heritage_dublin @Fingalcoco @dubcivictrust @DeptHousingIRL @noonan_malcolm @dubcityarc It's a very atmospheric room & it's always exciting when the maps make a rare appearance! 😍 We featured 11 Parnell Square as a Building of the Month back in 2019: buildingsofireland.ie/building-of-th…

The oak panelled bow-ended council chamber at No.11 Parnell Square was refitted in 1901 and used until @DubCityCouncil relocated to O'Connell St in the 1970's. #HeritageConservation #BuiltHeritage #Dublin 👉irishheritagetrust.ie/no-11-parnell-…
