Glenalbyn
NAME                       Janeville/Jane Ville/Glen Albyn/Glenalbyn

AREA LOCATION
   STILLORGAN, Lower Kilmacud Road.
 
MAP LOCATION    OSI maps of 1838-1845 and 1898-1913 place it in the townland of Stillorgan
                                 South and it is annotated as Jane Ville and Glenalbyn respectively.  

 
GENERAL                 A three bay Georgian house with original doorcase and fanlight and an ugly 20th
century porch.  The rear of the house has a bow projection.  There were two gate lodges, one on the
Lower Kilmacud Road and the other on Glenalbyn Road, both now demolished, a survival is the giant
sequoia tree just outside the main door.  Possibly named for the wife of George Tinkler, a paper
manufacturer whose business was at 42 South Great George's Street in Dublin city.  He appears to be
the builder and first occupant of the house.  It was for sale or let on 13 acres along with several 
houses in the village from 1805 to 1807. The Kilmacud stream ran through the grounds and was
known locally in the last century as Daly's river.   The house was reached by traversing an elaborate arched bridge with
the name plaque 'Janeville'.  The house sat on 19 acres in 1857.  The name of the house was changed to Glen
Albyn around 1886 and was known as Glenalbyn by 1912.  The house and grounds are now home to
Kilmacud Crokes.


YEAR BUILT             circa 1802
 
VALUATION 
            In 1900 the valuation was 92 pounds and in the 1901 census it is noted as having 18 rooms.
