ST PATRICK'S COLLEGE - Physical Description 1
The original purchase of the grounds for the College would appear to have been not long before construction ofr the first main building in 1889, as the total cost including land is given a £12,000. this building was of a "domestic Gothic style with a high tower surmounted by a mansard roof" and was designed by Tappin Gilbert and Dennehy and opened on 19.2.1899 (or 89?). This would now appear to have been largely demolished. Various later unsighted and undated drawings exist for alternations' by Clegg and Miller. The latter may be for the current main wing. This is of a heavy leadlit windows set within a serlian motif also the central decorative turret or roof vent mounted on the ridge of masonry trimming with an open balcony at both levels covered by the main tiles floor. And iconic masonry columns at the first floor. The main importance of the building is its intactness, its comprehensiveness detailing, and the spacious grounds. It provides a good example of an early century revival of English Renaissance architecture.
