Re: Re: 1916 rising sites at Mount St bridge area

Here’s St. Stephens Schoolhouse, now “The Schoolhouse Hotel” on the south east side of Mount St. Bridge. Construction started in 1859 and opened in 1861. It was closed in1969 by the department of education and was idle till 1997 when it was bought by the Sweeney Hotel Group. The exterior of the building looks mostly the same but the chimneys were torn down and rebuilt because of severe deterioration. I’m sure everyone will agree that the schoolhouse is a grand building.
