This crisp, clear and beautiful image from the Stereo Pairs Collection shows a very attractive building with two ladies in crinolines standing outside. The building itself is quite distinctive which should make it easy to identify? Unfortunately I don't see any dogs :-(
The general consensus is that this is St. Anne’s Hydro and Turkish Bath in Blarney, County Cork. Which, according to Archiseek at least, dates to 1870, and narrows our range a bit. The building, including the clock we see here, is just about still standing....
Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton
Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence
Collection: Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1860-1883. After 1870 (construction)
NLI Ref: STP_1592

There's always one! Four little girls in the shadow of the Ballymun tower blocks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/34120394412/ We received some very interesting Family connections about the above photo from our newest contributor https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected], please have a look.

The Bell Tower seems to be wood. Looks very like a Victorian Spa.

There is a reverse view (at 14:48) which might help - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564908

The snake benches are a bit special ... Ed. Flickr is sometimes amazing ... Also seen at Bamburgh Castle, UK. Via https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/219130830/

Possibly the same house in the background here (it's huge!) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564904

Reminds me a bit of Killarney/Kenmare house in Killarney.

There is a sequence of STPs here from 1589 to 1593. 1588 is in Blarney, and 1594 is in Cork, too. A couple of shots include parked wheelchairs, and the keyhole shaped door/windos in the background here suggest a Victorian notion of Turkish Baths, perhaps? Ooh, sphinxes on the nearer building!

Streetview says the property is now called Hydro Farm.

The ruined clocktower was still standing in 1990 for the Lawrence Photographic Project, see LPP_36A/29

There are lots of later Lawrence photos of the place in the catalogue; search for "ann's blarney" - catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=ann%27s+blarney&a... including a general view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000340269 and a sort-of-similar view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000340271 - the snake benches were still there!

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] There's a few more photos of some of the other buildings: one, two. There are a couple of Lawrence photos too, but they haven't been digitised, including one of the interior.

Apparently one idea is to turn it into a nursing home.

The Cork and Muskerry light railway ran by just at the bottom of the hill, and this house in Streetview was St. Ann's railway station.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] This is the remains of St Annes station. www.flickr.com/photos/abandonedrailsireland/6028691961/in...
Niall McAuley
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/abandonedrailsireland] Here is the 25" map of the station. There is the (ruined) building you show, a turntable, tank, small engine shed (all gone) and the house I streetviewed. Perhaps a stationkeeper lived there?
