‘Baldoyle ACA encompasses the area bounded by Dublin Street, College Street, Willie Nolan Road and Main Street, which includes the institutional complexes of St. Mary’s Hospital, St. Mary’s Secondary School, and the Convent of the Sisters of Charity. as well as Baldoyle Library. The boundary extends out slightly in the SE corner to include the mid-19th century Former Coast Guard Station and dwellings of Nos. 17 to 25 Strand Road, as well as the Former Constabulary Barracks (now part of Baldoyle Library) and the adjoining 19th century residence on The Mall. The core of Baldoyle village is dominated by large institution structures or complexes. The majority of residences within this core are small, single-storey terraced cottages. The modest nature of these cottages, along with the overall uniformity of their simple design, has resulted in a distinctive homogenous appearance along these streetscapes, despite alterations and modifications over the years. This juxtaposition of large institutional or community buildings alongside the low rise, small scale residential streets forms the special character of Baldoyle, reflecting the mainly 19th century layout and development of the village.’
