p. 286. “A square early C18 house of brick, of two storeys over high basement, with a pyramidal roof from the centre of which rises a gazebo or lantern. Regarded by Dr Craig as “perhaps the most interesting small house of the early C18 in the whole of Ireland” and attributed by him to Sir Edward Lovett Pearce. Built ante 1735 by Rev John Jackson, Vicar of Santry, a friend of Swift. The house has four regular fronts and four sturdy, regularly disposed chimneystacks; the five bay entrance front how having a slightly discordant late C18 fanlighted doorway. Dr Craig considers the gazebo here to be the precursor of the central attic-towers of Gola, Co Monaghan and other houses; but the Woodlands gazebo has none of the freakishness of those other towers; it is the natural termination of the roof. The interior is divided by a long vaulted corridor-hall running from front to back. In 1837, the residence of Col A Thomson.”
