Kiltalown House
Kiltalown House

Kiltalown House is a late 18th / early 19th century Georgian house located in the townland of Kiltalown (Irish: Coillte Leamháin, meaning 'woods of elm' or 'the church of the elms'') near Jobstown in Tallaght, situated at the foot of the Dublin Mountains in Dublin, Ireland. Since 2005, the house has been used by a drug and alcohol rehabilitation organisation as their local community headquarters. The house was built c.1800 at a time when Tallaght was still just a small village on the outskirts of Dublin city, and the lands around it primarily agricultural. The house went through a number of owners through the decades, with the last private owner being a Mr. W. Jolley in early 1987. Around May 1987, the house came into use in a public capacity, possibly as the result of having been purchased by Dublin County Council, and began to be used as a location for counselling services. It suffered dereliction at some point during this transition of ownership, and was damaged by fire in 1988. The house was repaired by FÁS and subsequently used as a base for unemployed people, and then a holistic therapy centre, before being requisitioned as the headquarters of a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation organisation in July 2005, by whom it is still used today. The surviving demesne lands which surround the house have been repurposed as a public park named Kiltalown Park. In 2002, the house was described by architectural historian Michael Fewer as "one of the few smaller country houses around Tallaght to (have) survive(d) the sweeping developments of the 1970s and 1980s".
