Take me to Church Road

Tommy Barker admires a large 1930s home between the GAA club and St Michael’s Church in Blackrock.

FROM even a cursory, passing glance along Cork’s Church Road in Blackrock, Dundanion House is a handsome-looking sort of settled suburban home, with its broad, brick and render banded facade, wide window bays, and overall sense of symmetry, plus central curved porch, up on painted smooth plastered columns.
