Place & story
William Hague’s convent
The former Poor Clare convent on Virginia Road was built in 1883 to William Hague’s design. Its three-storey main block has projecting gables, limestone window surrounds and an entrance recessed beneath a pointed arch. The architectural inventory records surviving sash windows, shutters and interior fittings among its significant features. [2]
The school wing of 1956
An attached primary school wing followed in 1956. The inventory associates it with architect Basil Boyd Barrett and notes its concrete play shelter with a flat roof and supporting columns. It identifies the school as a variation on the standard designs used for Irish primary schools between the 1930s and 1960s. [2]
