Detached two-bay two-storey with attic former house, built c.1880, having gabled half-dormer window, single-storey box bay and lean-to porch to ground floor front (north) elevation. Now in use as chaplaincy. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, timber bargeboards to dormer and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings to first and ground floor, shouldered-headed openings having scroll detail under render hood mouldings to first floor windows and round-headed window to half-dormer. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and render sills throughout. Recessed round-headed door opening under lean-to porch to timber panelled door with fanlight. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate, flanking render piers and boundary wall with wrought-iron railings and cast-iron name plaque to front of site.
A handsome house displaying interesting features including hood mouldings, timber sliding sash windows, and scrolled corners to window openings. Built as a pair with the neighbouring detached house, these houses are representative of the scale, form and quality of contemporary dwellings that were built in this area, adjacent to the university, as the city expanded west into the growing suburbs.

University College CorkHouse · 10 yd

Explorer Tom University College Cork in Gurteenaspig is actually a house from 1880 that’s now a doctor's surgery. It was built as a pair and has scrolled corners that make it look like it’s smiling at you.

Boole LibraryLibrary/archive · 107 yd

Explorer Tom Boole Library in Gillabbey holds a fake world record for 'Most Mathy Bricks'. It's named after a guy who died young, so he can't complain about the design. Bring a calculator!

Boole Lecture TheatreUniversity · 117 yd

Explorer Tom The Boole Lecture Theatre is underground because George Boole liked math and hiding from reality. Named after a guy who invented logic, yet he still got lost in Cork. A proper head-scratcher for you, mate!

KnocknacoolHouse · 117 yd

Explorer Tom Knocknacool is a fine pair of houses that are secretly proud of their substantial eaves brackets because they think they hold the roof up all by themselves. It’s got moulded render surrounds that look like they’ve been to a good barber. Sit on the railings and tell them you’re the new neighbour!

Caucasian Wingnut133 yd

Explorer Tom Caucasian Wingnut is named after a place that sounds like a wizard’s hat but is actually a nut tree. There was a bishop who refused to visit because he didn’t like the wings on the nuts. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re sitting under a weird tree in Cork.

George BooleMemorial · 149 ydGlossy privet202 yd

Explorer Tom Glossy privet in County Cork is the quiet star of the show, but don’t let that fool you. The whole parish once argued about whether it was fancy or not. It’s free, it’s odd, so what more could you possibly want?

Glucksman GalleryMuseum · 325 ydIra Volunteers MemorialMemorial · 338 ydGill Abbey (Site of) (1949-50)Religious house, Augustinian canons · 363 yd

Explorer Tom Gill Abbey in Cork City was founded by Cormac MacCarthaig and burned down by Anglo-Normans who were scared of the men of Desmond. That sounds like a neighborhood dispute that escalated way too quickly. Tell me if the gossip I made up about the monks is true, or just lie.

Cathedral811 yd

Explorer Tom Cathedral in Cork City was built in French Gothic style by William Burges. He did everything himself, including the stained glass! That’s one dedicated architect. Go see if he left any signatures on the walls.
