There’s another Martello Tower currently undergoing renovation (though that word falls short of describing the extent of the works) on Killiney Hill Road near Ballybrack village.
Thanks for that. The further I research this, the more towers being coverted into dwellings that pop up! It seems to be the thing to do!

The little house is on the left as you go out of town over a bridge- you’re probably right that it’s the Marino road, but I can’t be sure.
I think Harry Crosbie’s place is on the spit of land that separates Grand Canal Dock from the Liffey, facing onto the dock (Hannover Quay?). Boland’s Mill is on the other side of the dock.
I heard on the radio recently- Pat Liddy interview- that the lady was still living on O’Connell Street, though it could have been recorded some time ago.Lest anyone thinks I’m giving away personal details of the above owners, all of this info is not only in the public realm, it has been broadcast on the radio in the last couple of years too. I’m no stalker. 🙂
You’ve a good healthy interest in houses and that’s not stalking!!
You’re right about the lady above the Happy House. She still resides there.
Thanks for your info!

What about the house over near Croke Park that’s sandwiched between the railway line and the canal? (Not sure of the road- as a southsider I make it my business not to know too much about DNS :rolleyes: )My friend lives in a free-standing folly-tower in the garden of his parents’ house, but I wouldn’t call it a house in its own right- no kitchen or jacks. Also, it should be a protected structure but it’s not (though they do take very good care of it), so he mightn’t appreciate a film crew putting it on the map.
Have you thought about barge dwellers in places like Hazelhatch (on the Dublin-Kildare border) or Sallins (not Dublin)?
Or the park-keeper’s house in St Stephen’s Green?I’m scratching my head to think off-hand of others…
EDIT: What about Harry Crosbie, who lives in a warehouse overlooking Grand Canal Dock?
EDIT2: Or the woman who lives above the Happy Ring House on O’Connell St.? Or anyone who lives in 100 St Stephen’s Green? I know the houses aren’t odd, but the locations are certainly unusual.Any more and I’ll have to charge you a consultancy fee. ]
Is the house between railway and canal just before you get to Marino? It’s green and white little cottage???!
And Harry Crosbie, who lives at Grand Canal Docks warehouse, is that the warehouses near Bolands Mill?I think the lady of the Happy Ring House moved out so they are no longer residents of O Connell Street….

Do you know anything else about the tower in Malahide? Was it sold? Is it the one near Sutton?
