| Message | Fantastic Book and brilliant website. You've done what i've wanted to do for years. Every time I've passed an abandoned house i've tried to enter it to get a glimpse at the past , a piece of stucco work, a broken piece of paneling, a scrap of paper,all physical evidence of former residents. For years I watched Doonass House Co. Clare deteriorate , being borded up window by window, the stone doorcase and beautiful leaded fanlight constantly pelted by rocks, and now reduced to a total wreck by arsonists, such a shame when a house like that could have been saved. Hopefully this book will alert people to the rot in irish architecture.Congratulations Tarquin. |
