What is recorded here
Located on the grounds of Clonliffe College in a prominent position above the River Tolka. It is brick built and rises to two storeys over basement. The entrance is W facing. Indicated as the Red House on the latest OS edition, but as Clonliff House on the first OS map. Dillon, Cosgrave (1909, 80) mentions the Red House. The date of construction is uncertain but the form of the staircase with barley-sugar balusters, low risers, broad handrail, paired with staircase panelling would appear to be 17th century.
