NAME Hazelwood/Hazelwood House
AREA LOCATION STILLORGAN, Kilmacud Road Upper on the section that runs to the junction at

it is annotated as "unnamed" and Hazelwood respectively.
GENERAL Two storey over basement, it has a beautiful chiselled granite facade. The rectangular
pilasters spaced along the building's facade lend an air of classical grandeur. Granite brackets under

run as a convalescent home from 1914 to 1937. In 1941 it was for sale described as a magnificence
residence on 4 acres with paddocks, flower and vegetable gardens and orchards. It was on the market
again in 1947.
