Place & story
A house from the rural landscape
The architectural inventory places Saint Mark’s Youth and Family Centre in Whitehall townland and dates the house to around 1870. The detached, two-storey building has three bays, roughcast walls and a hipped slate roof. Fluted columns flank its panelled entrance door and plain fanlight. A later single-storey extension stands behind it, while the main block retains its older proportions. [2]
A shared local building
South Dublin County Council lists the centre on Fettercairn Road as a venue for sports, education and youth activities. Its published services include drama, dance, parent-and-toddler groups, preschool provision and an urban farm. This community role gives the former dwelling a continuing use as a shared facility serving the surrounding neighbourhoods. [3]
