WARRENMOUNT HOUSE: “This rather beautiful building is tucked away off Mill Street, near Blackpitts, in one of the last places you would expect to find a mansion like this.

The building dates to the 1790s and was home to Nathaniel Warren, High Sheriff of Dublin and later Lord Mayor. In a pique of modestly, he humbly named his residence Warrenmount … after himself.

In 1813 Warrenmount was transformed into a Carmelite convent and a school for girls was opened. Ownership later transferred to the Presentation Sisters. The building was extensively renovated in 2008 and is now occupied by the Warrenmount Community Education Centre.

The grounds of Warrenmount contains one of the only spots in Dublin 8 where the River Poddle emerges from its subterranean course and you can hear the famous river the trickling by”.
