I headed over to Dublin's Old St. Raymond's Church that was built circa 1859. I've never done a photo study before, so I just tried to take some interesting shots!
Be sure to click on the photos to see them up close and in detail! (the last one of the church shutters is my favorite!)
As I was heading back home, I saw this construction going on... and then it dawned on me that this was the Kolb House, the historical residence of another of Dublin's founding families what was recently acquired by the city and relocated. The city is expanding our heritage center to include more land as well as the Kolb House and it's surrounding buildings (which have also been moved to this location). The first phase of the newly expanded park should be open in the spring.
It's such an interesting house; I only wish I could have gotten closer!

I enjoyed your photos.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few that really caught my eye...and yes, the last one of the church definitely did. I think the purple flowers in the shot brought a nice elegance to the shutters :)
ReplyDeleteLove love old churches ...you did a lovely job.
ReplyDeletelove the first shot! many fabulous shots though. great shoot out! have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThe church is beautiful and so obviously well cared for, but the house is remarkable and architecturally unique. I wish you could have gotten closer as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat imaginative shots! The old building would be proud.
ReplyDeleteI loved the angles you captured around the church. The narrow walkway is an interesting feature. The arts and crafts style of the house caught my eye. This shoot out makes me wish I could experience the interiors. Thanks for posting!=D
ReplyDeleteWonderful angles and photos. I think I have to agree with you and choose the last church photo as my favourite, although I really like the one before it too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty church! I had several favorites, but I agree with you about that last one!
ReplyDeleteOnce the Kolb House is completed, I hope you'll take us back there! I just love those wrap around porches!!!
What a pretty church! I love the different angles and the reflection shots you have.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
We should do a study of the interior together when it opens in the Spring!
ReplyDeleteenjoyed the photos. those shutters are perfect for the church.
ReplyDeletegreat shots!
ReplyDeleteI really like the angles that you used for your shots. Each one became a new favorite as I looked at them! I also really like the craftsman style so the second building looks like a beauty, even as it is under construction!
ReplyDeleteI love the steeples. great shoot out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! J9--I'd love to! I'm dying to see it on the inside. :)
