Shakespeare after Scheemakers Kilmainham Dublin
A Statue of William Shakespeare.
After the Original by Scheemakers.
On Riversdale House, Kilmainham, Dublin. Ireland
Demolished 1969.
Unknown Date or Material
Riversdale
House, probably originally had Dutch Billy gables, and was constructed entirely
in stone rather than brick. Constructed about 1725 by a Dublin lawyer called
John Fitzpatrick who sold it shortly afterwards to a legal colleague, Simon
Bradstreet.
The Bradstreet family resided in the mansion throughout the 18th
century, tending the formal gardens that stretched out in front of the house up
to a splendid wrought iron gateway fronting the highway at Old Kilmainham. The
house became tenements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with most of
the house demolished about 1965.
Where is it now?
