Charlotte House, Queen Street, Cork

Prints of Charlotte House at the corner of Queen Street and Charlotte Quay (now known as Father Mathew Street and Father Mathew Quay) in Cork. The building is five storeys in height. The gable end is topped with a cross. The building was located on a site on the south-east corner of Queen Street. Fr. Cherubini Mazzini OSFC converted this house into a residence for the friars and Charlotte House, as it was known, remained in use until 1884 when the Capuchins took up residence in the present-day Holy Trinity Friary built by Fr. Simeon Gaudillot OSFC (1836-1910). The print may have been taken from a volume.

Copy map of St. Lawrence’s Chapel, Cork

Copy map showing outline of the medieval St. Lawrence’s Chapel near the South Channel of the River Lee. The chapel is bounded by Webber’s Lane (now Morgan’s Lane) and by the ‘ascertained line of the Old City Wall’. The site was seemingly covered by the recently-demolished former Beamish & Crawford Brewery, Main Street South, Cork. The map was probably copied from a nineteenth-century lease map and has the following key to the coloured areas:
‘Land coloured red leased by Carleton & Mitchell to Francis Cottrell, 1st June 1796.
Green and brown leased by Carleton & Mitchell to Francis Cottrell, 1st June 1796.
Land coloured green held by Carleton under lease from Corporation dated May 6th 1706.
Land coloured brown held by Carleton under lease from Prebendary of Christ Church.
Land coloured blue held by Beamish & Crawford, surviving partners of “Beamish, Crawford & Barrett” as shewn on lease [of] Carleton & Mitchell to Cottrell dated 1st June 1796’.
With a typescript note by Fr. Angelus Healy OSFC on the history of St. Lawrence’s Church.

Design for the completion of Holy Trinity Church

Proposed design for the completion of Holy Trinity Church, Cork by Edward Welby Pugin (1834-1875) and George Coppinger Ashlin (1837-1921). Print by J. Lewis, 29 Dame Street, Dublin. With a typescript note possibly by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. referring to the provenance of the proposed design. The note affirms that in June 1877 Ashlin had ‘been employed by Fr. Thomas, Superior of Cork, to examine the foundations of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Cork, with a view to completing the front of the Church, and erecting a Tower. … The proposed design shows portions of the Friary at both sides of the Church’. This proposal did not materialize, and the completion of the Church façade, and the erection of the spire was not done until the celebration of the centenary of the birth of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC in 1890.
