Antrim / Re: Sans Souci Lodge Sans Souci Park Belfast
« on: Sunday 30 October 16 16:38 GMT (UK) »
Hopefully the below information should resolve where Sans Souci Lodge and Sans Souci Nursing Home are located.
Recently online searchable street directories for 1901 + 1907-1908 - see below - show Sans Souci Lodge as fronting the Malone Road between both junctions with Sans Souci Park - the park is crescent shaped onto Malone Road. Further research from the 1901 Ireland census confirms small properties of 2 rooms at 27, 28 and 29 on the schedule of buildings. The other houses are 1st class and are recently build for the professional gentleman. The lodge is either 2nd or 3rd class - reaching the end of its life? Note John Stevenson in 1901 and he is listed as close to Sans Souci Lodge in the street directory extracts.
All this tends to confirm that Sans Souci Lodge was the former gate lodge to the grander house "Sans Souci"
Sans Souci Nursing Home
Again recent street directiries on line for 1932 show the home at 41 Malone Road Belfast. This is within 100 metres of Sans Souci Park. Google maps has street views as the property still stands.
Hopefully this has resolved previous problems. Thanks to http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/ for Street Directory copies plus PRONI for 1901 Malone Road extract.
Hope the attachments appear in the correct order.
