Condition Report and Survey Drawings by William A. Maguire & Associates, architects, 34 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2. The report was prepared in preparation for major renovation work on St. Mary of the Angels which got underway in the mid-1970s. The introduction to the report affirmed that the ‘ultimate objective of the exercise is the adaptation of St. Mary of the Angels to conform with current Liturgical principle and to achieve this … a comprehensive survey of the existing building has now been carried out and accurate scale plans prepared’. The architect’s report also noted that the original plans of the Church were no longer available. The report is divided into seven sections:
I. Introduction: History and Development
II. Walls and Plastering
III. Floors
IV. Roofs
V. Gutters and Downpipes
VI. Water tanks, Heating, Hot Water Services, Electrical
VII. Re-Planning and Summary
The summary concluded that the Friary and adjoining Church were ‘generally in good structural condition’ but that a considerable amount of money would need to be expended to bring the buildings up to modern standards and requirements. ‘The high cost of repair and improvement’, the report concluded, emanated, ‘from the uneconomic planning of the Friary and the height of the Church’.

Correspondence and specification reports principally from William A. Maguire, architects, 34 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2, supervisors for the general refurbishment of St. Mary of the Angels and the adjoining Capuchin Friary, Church Street. The principal building contractors for the work were Hannon Brothers Ltd., 31 Richmond Avenue, Fairview, Dublin. Other work was undertaken by Dwyer & Daly Ltd., 81 Eccles Street, Dublin, general floor contractors. The extensive repair work included the painting of the Sacred Heart Chapel, the sandblasting of exterior walls, the fitting up of a new fire escape, various interior renovations, and redecorations (including the removal of some confessional boxes and work on the altar), the refurbishment of the side-porch entrance, the installation of heating systems and the replacement of wiring throughout the Friary. The file includes several bill of costs for professional fees and certificates of payment. The total cost of the renovation work was £91,621.53 (see letter from William A. Maguire, 27 July 1976). The file includes a letter (25 Sept. 1975) from George Smith, 8 Shelton Drive, Kimmage Road, Dublin 12, seeking brass-polishing work. Smith describes how ‘the changes in church décor brought about by the last Vatican Council has meant unemployment for many – especially in the metal trade. The simple furnishings of the modern church do not require nearly as much work as the traditional style did’. With four architectural drawings up by William A. Maguire relating to specific work projects undertaken during the renovations (Aug. 1972-Sept. 1976).
