Description

These are 21 unique postcards (no duplicates) showing numerous early twentieth-century views of the
Convent of the Sacred Heart, Mount Anville, Dundrum, Dublin, Ireland
.
They are unposted and were in an album for many decades. Generally in excellent condition - some have very minor fading from where album corners were, for most it's not present or noticeable.
20 are the same size and one additional card features the Altar and is slightly larger.
Not sure if these are all of the views of the convent/school, but I don't think you'll see a nicer / fuller set all together like this.
Individual card views are:
view from the drive
retreat house - front view
retreat house - showing terrace
retreat house - south east view
retreat house - entrance
the terrace
the cedars (two separate views)
the school and the tower
school and chapel
view of the deer park
the hidden gem
sea view from the tower
statue of the sacred heart
the chapel
the vinery
the art room
the recreation hall
the refectory
the hall
the altar
See photos for condition / details of individual postcard(s).
Interesting card for anyone with an interest in local history, genealogy, family history, etc.
