1890s – Palmroom, Clonsilla Lodge, Co. Dublin

Elegant Palm Room added to a Lodge (not a gatehouse) on the Clonsilla Estate belonging to the Hollwey Steeds family. The lodge was heavily altered in 1907 for Howard St. George by architect Richard Orpen but is now in very poor condition.

The nearby Clonsilla House was demolished for the Portersgate Estate. In 1887, 38 hunting horses belonging to Captain William Hollwey Steeds were poisoned in their stables there. Nobody was ever charged but it was felt that it may have been related to the Land Wars at the time.
