Item 1 - Proposed Chapel at Capuchin College in Rochestown

57 cm x 55 cm; architectural drawing on paper; features hand-coloured ink, pencil, and watercolour washes.

A hand-coloured architectural drawing titled Scheme ‘B’ for a proposed chapel expansion at the Capuchin Franciscan Monastery in Rochestown, County Cork, designed by architect J. R. Boyd Barrett. Rendered at a scale of 16 feet to one inch, the document features four foundational architectural views: a detailed overhead plan mapping out a sanctuary, sacristy, confessional boxes, and a main nave with ‘seating 130 boys’ connected to an existing hall; a side elevation illustrating the exterior facade and window configuration; a cross-sectional section detailing the structural frame and interior altar backdrop; and an end elevation depicting the rear profile alongside stylized landscaping.
