On a bright if cold day in Dublin we have a shot taken on a bright summers(?) day in Malahide. I admit to not knowing if Seapark House still exists.
The sad news is that the house no longer exists, It was demolished and lots of new houses were built on the site. There is a dog in the photo so for you dog lovers that is two in two days.
Thanks for all of the contributions today.

If this is the correct Sea Park OSI Historic 25" then it is long gone and replaced by suburbia Current Street Map

Here is the location from The Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

You've got the map pointed to the wrong place - it was on the corner of Grove Road (maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,722944,745798,11,9), but yes, it's long gone.

I did a paper round in that area in the early 80's, before Marley was built. There was some big old house there then with a large dog and a tennis court. I can't remember if it looked like that or if it was already gone by then.

There is a dog......

The tennis courts are still there as well, but I think even back then, it was a different house - an early or mid 20th C. job.

Was this house burned down? I have vague memories of some teenager burning it down in the 80s!

Is the dog 'Nipper', the His Masters Voice pup? Or a close relative?https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkadog/3353936487/

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregcarey Really? I don't remember that, though there were a couple of arsonous kids around Malahide in those days.

I think the outbuildings to the rear are visible among the trees in this Golf Links shot in the archive.

I like the Grants for this house in 1901 census, but could easily be wrong...
Niall McAuley
Not necessarily the Grants in this photo, mind you. The house is still being let in 1901, belonging to Frank Bethel who owns the Hotel next door.

If it's the Grants, they've got the number of windows wrong on the buildings form.

So crisp and a wonderful house.

According to the Thom's a Mr. Thomas Dunn was there in 1880.

Sir Horace Plunkett and his friend, economist, Dr. Moritz Julius Bonn rented Sea Park, Malahide in October and November 1903. Dr Bonn wrote "Modern Ireland and her Agrarian Problem" published in 1906..... a fasinating account of the social economics of the time from a foreigners perspective. Plunkett's Diary 1903

Demolishing such a wonderful house, ruining the site and wiping off so many memories and a whole past is a crime!
