SCOIL TREASA NAOFA
SCOIL TREASA NAOFA [O'DONOVAN ROAD - PETRIE ROAD DUBLIN 8]
This school retains much of its early character, and the original form remains apparent despite later additions. The advanced entrance bay and decorative plasterwork enliven the otherwise plain facade. Like many early twentieth-century primary schools, the school was founded as a boys' school by the Christian Brothers. This area, known as Fairbrothers Fields, saw large scale residential development in the 1920s, and the school was designed to accommodate the growing population. Designed by Dublin architect John Joseph Robinson, founder of Robinson & Keefe (Later Robinson, Keefe & Devane) Architects, he carried out many commissions for the Roman Catholic Church at the time.
