Scope and content
An itemized account sheet requesting payment of £75.0.0 for architectural services rendered. The text outlines the initial scope of work from 1876: preparing plans and specifications for a new church at Rochestown, conducting consultations at George C. Ashlin’s Dublin office on Stephen’s Green, creating structural execution drawings, securing a construction estimate from the contractor McMullen, and inspecting the foundations during early site visits. A detailed ‘NB’ section written by Ashlin explains that the project was abruptly suspended by the Capuchin Order after the foundations were put down. Ashlin notes that despite repeatedly applying to Fr. Albert Mitchell for the balance and receiving assurances of payment, no funds were ever received, leading to this formal statement written in January 1889.
