Clontarf Guinness History Mansion Model Raheny St Anne's Park

Hi folks,

An exciting update on my exploration of the St. Anne's Park, Guinness Mansion.

Thanks to drawings shared by Leo Devitt I originally had created the model of the mansion. A good friend from Ulster University, Michael Callaghan saw the model one day and said, how about building a mansion using 3D Modelling and walking around it yourself. So the project began.

Two students, Suzanne Robert and Mamady Baradji worked on a college project over the summer to do just that.  Their work is brilliant and remarkable given the timeframe etc.

I can walk around the 4 floors of the mansion and through literally hundreds of rooms now. Using a meta headset I walked around the first rooms that are the most finished. The main hall, palm garden and staircase give you a real sense of place and size.

Yet again the dig is on in the park with St Anne's Park Archaeology, so started outside the newly uncovered front entrance.

I hope you enjoy and as I build out I will share more.

    I remember as a kid going up those stairs but they were strewn with rubble. An absolute waste of a beautiful house that could easily have been restored.
