1900 Ivy Lodge, Mount Pleasant Place, Ranelagh, Co. Dublin
– | Mountpleasant Place is a short road leading away from the Square. Ivy Cottage, accessed via a lane - is located in the garden to the rear of No.3. With their property backing onto the gardens of Mountpleasant Square the Ivers home is in an interesting location - on one side affluent townhouses with access to private tennis and squash courts, just a stones throw in the other direction - tenement buildings. Mountpleasant Square was built in the 1830s and to this day stands as a prime example of Dublin's Georgian architecture. Now under a preservation order the Square contains 56 houses surrounding three sides of a private garden reserved for the use of its residents. The area was, of course, affluent - records will show the residents were professionals - Doctors, Military, Solicitors, etc. At the turn of 1900s Rathmines Urban District Council began construction of Mount Pleasant Buildings. The buildings, just south of the Square, were built in response to the lack of housing available for the working classes. By 1930 the Buildings would eventually total 10 blocks tenement flats, their name becoming synonymous with poverty and bad planning practices. In 1965 Lee Dunne would publish the Irish classic - 'Goodbye to the Hill'. The book is narrated by Paddy Maguire who tells the story of his life growing up in a Dublin slum in the 1930s and 1940s. The book is set in Mountpleasant Buildings. Census |
