My boyfriend's flat on mansionhouse gardens backs on to this building and since they have cleared the trees to start work on the site I cant stop looking out the windows at it!!! I'm even washing the dishes more than normal ::): Its an amazing building, really hard to believe that it was once a family home!!! I would love to see the inside of it - I wonder if it the site manager would still be up for letting us having a nosey around?
Yup i'm a first time poster I dont have anything to add (yet) but came across this site whilst looking for info on the convent - found more info here than I did on the net - good work everyone!!
