Large brick house, now demolished, known as Newtown Lodge that was built on Oxmantown Hill by Sir Henry Brouncker [Ranger of Phoenix Park 1672] (Ball 1906, 190; Litton-Falkiner 1904, 61). Falkiner (1904, 61) recorded that; 'Henry Brouncker erected a large brick house on that portion of Oxmantown hill which was added to the Newtown lands, overlooking the pond, which he named Newtown Lodge, and which was the first official residence (other than the Phoenix House built by Fisher) erected within the Park; and so continued till about 1760. Thenceforth it was the residence of the deer keepers till 1835, when all the land enclosed with it was granted to the Zoological Society and Newtown Lodge was demolished. This lodge was long known as the Ivy House'.
