Title: Cullenswood House, Dublin
Post by: Cherrian on Monday 06 July 09 20:28 BST (UK)

According to their marriage certificate, two of my g g grandparents were both residing at Cullenswood House Dublin at the time of their marriage in 1847.   They married at St Peter's.

Can anyone tell me anything about Cullenswood House at this time?

Thanks.

from Slaters directory of 1846 - http://www.failteromhat.com/slater.htm

Nobility & Gentry section - page 44

 A. D. Roberts  Esq. Cullenswood House, Sandford

Cullenswood is an alternate name for part of Ranelagh in south Dublin

Sandford is the name of the road/area which leads to the south from Ranelagh towards Clonskeagh

listed separately at the same address is a Mrs Frances Venson (about 3 pages further on)

It was on Cullenswood Ave - now called Oakley Road.
I think it may still be there

The building in question was used by Pádraig Pearse in 1908 to establish his first Irish language school. Known as Cullenswood House, it was acquired in 1960 by the State on behalf of the nation. (from a Dáil debate 1987)
