What is recorded here

Ayesha Castle, later Victoria Castle, rose on Killiney Hill in 1840 as a speculative showpiece for Robert Warren’s imagined town of Queenstown. Humphrey Lloyd bought the property in 1872, and Clifford B. Lloyd took charge in 1882, holding the estate through lengthy negotiations over the opening of Vico Road. Its towers and broad windows mocked genuine medieval defence while offering cheerful rooms above a commanding Dublin view.
