What is recorded here
Suppose a worker at Saint Basil's engine shed in Tallaght heard a machine running sweetly after a morning spent fixing it. He'd call his workmate over to enjoy the sound, and the machine would choose that very moment to complain.
Detached ten-bay single-storey training centre, c.1940, with two projecting porches. Rough-cast walls with brick base. Timber sash windows in plain openings with internal railings. Hipped slate roof with various skylights and two large Art Deco style chimney stacks. Two symmetrical flat-roofed extensions to rear. Brick and roughcast boundary wall with railings.
This building largely retains its original aspect, including its boldly articulated chimney stacks. Still in use, it has been a valuable constituent of the social fabric of the area since it was built.
