HISTORY OF STANFORD HOUSE

Transcription

1

2 HISTORY OF STANFORD HOUSE Stanford House was built as part of the first wave of building in Foxrock in what was the beginning of the development of the area into a garden suburb. Spanning 3,875 sq ft, this is essentially one of the few true country manses left in Dublin. The demise dates from the early Victorian era being for the most part designed in a hybrid classical or Italianate style. The elegant villas of this era represented some of the finest examples of domestic architecture and were set in well-tended spacious grounds with luxurious planting, as befitted the affluence and status of their owners. Once built the house situated on three acres was sold in 1860 for 800 ( 50,500 in today value) ground rent of 28 p.a. to John Stanford McIlwaine of the Bank of Ireland, which became known as Stanford House.

4 HISTORY OF FOXROCK Situated between the coastline and the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, Foxrock is approximately 12km from Dublin City. This area has a rich history dating back to 1859 where developers William & John Bently and Edward & Anthony Fox leased the lands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Richard Whately, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin, with the aim of creating an affluent garden suburb. The development was facilitated by the existence of the Harcourt Street railway line, built in 1854, that put Dublin City within commuting distance. The developers donated a site to the Dublin Wicklow and Wexford Railway Company for Foxrock railway station, which opened in 1861 and closed Royal Insurance Co. purchased the land in 1867 and it was this company that was responsible for creating the village of Foxrock. Cottages were built in 1901 including these having small shops. By the 1930s a new Catholic church was built, schools were being built and the population expanded. More building in the 1950s filled most of the vacant land in the area of the then Foxrock Estate. Findlaters shop that opened in 1906, now the Gabels bar and restaurant The post office that was first on Westminster Road in the 1890 s, where Primrose Cottage is now. Primrose Cottage, a single-storey house originally built as the estate office for the developers William and John Bentley. The Foxrock railway station that was located inside Leoparstown Race Course No trace of Foxrock station remains as the building was demolished in 1991, other than the original passenger entrance to Leopardstown Racecourse beside the golf club main gates (All photographs are courtesy of the Foxrock Local History Club) 5 6
