School in Rathfarnham, County Dublin

What is recorded here

School in Rathfarnham was built beside the sexton’s house in the same style. ‘Who copied whom?’ would be a dangerous question to put on the blackboard when the entire school was sitting there in the neighbour’s outfit.

Formerly semi-detached four-bay single-storey school house, c.1820. Roughcast rendered walls with cut stone dressings. Chamfered stone reveals to openings. Leaded timber casement windows. Timber tongue and groove door in four-centred archway to gabled breakfront. Pitched slate roof with cut stone coping to breakfront gable.

An attractive school house, retaining many original features and finishes. Built alongside the former Sexton's House and in the same style, the school adds character to this religious group at the northern end of Rathfarnham village.
