Saint Columba's College

Detached three- or five-bay single-storey cricket pavilion, built 1866, on a T-shaped plan with single-bay (single-bay deep) single-storey lower central return (south). Renovated, 2010. Diagonal slate-detailed hipped slate roof centred on hipped slate roof (south); bitumen felt-covered curvilinear hipped roof to front (north) elevation on timber posts on cut-granite chamfered padstones, clay ridge tiles, paired louvered timber "lucarnes" to front (north) pitch, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on exposed timber rafters retaining cast-iron downpipes. Repointed red brick Flemish bond wall to front (north) elevation on rendered plinth; rendered, ruled and lined surface finish (remainder). Square-headed central door opening with cut-granite step threshold, and repointed red brick voussoirs framing timber panelled double doors. Segmental-headed niches centred on paired square-headed flanking window openings with cut-granite sills, and repointed red brick voussoirs framing timber boarded folding fittings. Square-headed window openings to rear (south) elevation with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing three-over-three timber sash windows. Set in landscaped grounds shared with Saint Columba's College.

A cricket pavilion erected to a design by John McCurdy (c.1824-85) of Leinster Street, Dublin (Atwood 1933, 57), not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Saint Columba's College complex, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the complex in the mid nineteenth century.
