Black and white print

An image of the Br. Burke Memorial Extension building at the North Monastery school in Cork. A manuscript annotation on the reverse of the print reads 'Burke Memorial Science School'. In 1911, the school celebrated its centenary and the Br. Burke extension was formally opened two years later in 1913. It takes its name from Br. James Burke who began teaching in the school in 1857 and was well known for his promotion of the teaching of science.
