p. 212. “An early Victorian-Italianate villa, with an eaved roof on a bracket cornice; dominated by an unusually tall and massive campanile tower. The home of the railway contractor, William Dargan, the leading spirit of the Dublin Exhibition 1853. Queen Victoria paid Dargan the exceptional honour of visiting here when she came over to Dublin for the Exhibtion; and she climbed to the top of the tower to see the “24 distinct views” which it afforded. Later in C19, the house became a well-known girls’ convent school.”
