Monkstown’s Old Schoolhouse Restoration on TG4 on Wednesday
The beautiful restoration of the Old Schoolhouse at Monkstown Parish Church, Dublin will feature in TG4‘s Buildings Beo series this Wednesday evening (December 17) at 8.30pm.
Presenter Carrie Crowley will discover how this refurbished schoolhouse will serve as a gathering place for the local art group and Tidy District, offering a space for community activities and creativity to flourish. With its genteel seaside charm and rich history, Monkstown’s refurbished schoolhouse stands as a testament to the power of community–driven initiatives and the enduring spirit of preservation.
Buildings Beo is a property show with a difference: it’s not only about the renovation of heritage buildings all around the country, but also about the people and the communities who bring these buildings to life. In this 6–part series, Carrie Crowley takes a closer look at six inspiring projects across Ireland, where derelict architectural legacies are being preserved and transformed into vital community spaces.
With over 166,000 vacant buildings in Ireland today, Buildings Beo sheds light on the urgent need for renewal of abandoned spaces. With projects ranging from historical mills to old schoolhouses, each episode follows the journey of a different restoration, showcasing the trials, tribulations and triumphs that come with preserving Ireland’s architectural heritage.
