BLACKROCK PARK
Estimate:
€1,500 - €2,500
Maurice MacGonigal PRHA, 1900-1979
BLACKROCK PARK
Oil on board, 12" x 16" (30.5 x 40.6cm), signed.
This painting is of the old park on the Rock Road ..called Williamstown opposite if you like Blackrock College. The Gable of the house (redbrick) is/was a line of houses which included the sub-post office behind which were tramway workers houses. The tramsheds and turntable for the trams were eventually levelled.
MacGonigal was in either the garden or piece of land abutting Lios an Uisce. There was shortly afterwards massive flooding and changes had to be made to the sites. The MacGonigal family had two houses at Booterstown.
The land on the sea side was and remains marshy and prone to flooding. The trees on the left hid an Edwardian House acquired by Sion Hill School at about that time. One can see work is in progress in re-siting the park entrance. Sadly many structural changes have taken place altering the look of the approach to Blackrock from the Williamstown side.
