MAP LOCATION     OSI maps of 1838-1845 and 1898-1913 place it in the townland of Stillorgan
                                   South and it is annotated as Brewery House and Brookvale House respectively. 
 
GENERAL                  An elegant three story non-basement house with bay timber frame windows.
It's actually two houses joined together, possibly the coach house or offices were integrated.  It
has a side entrance from Station Road (now part of St Brigid's Church Road).  In 1856 the name
was changed to Winton but by 1870 it was known as Brookvale again.  It was for sale in 1865.  In
1950 a CPO was issued on a portion of the front garden and by Dublin County Council to allow for
the ​widening of the Bray Road (14 perches and 7 yards).  It was for sale in 1951 described as an
attractive residence with old world charm.
