I have seena 'Brookside cottage' mentioned somewhere, so I think there probably would have been a 'big house' too.

Brookside Cottage was the 'Country' home of the well known publisher, James Duffy. I think he actually died there in July 1871.

My grandmother lived in a house called Brookside, a villa type house which was beside where the current Garda Station is now, in the early part of the 20th century with her family. It's listed in the 1939 Electorial list as 45 Clontarf Road but the family always referred to it as Brookside.

My grandmother and her parents and at one time my Mom lived in Brookside Cottage, it was demolished and the Renault garage was in it's place until it was demolished as well. Simla lodge is still there behind the Garda station.

Thom's street directory of 1955 has two names listed at 171 Clontarf Road.
R. McGuinness
T. O'Rourke

Newspaper mentions of the address in the 50s include ads for O'Rourke who seems to have sold firewood blocks and the death of a Joseph Murray (husband of Winnie) in 1959.

Maybe I’ve have the wrong number then
I was told it was 171
The surname was o’rourke
But initials was E for Edward
