About Cottageology
This website is a source for all things cottage related. It will hopefully encourage more people to renovate, restore and preserve cottages, to turn them into living history.
If you have an experience, memory, story, observation or suggestion about cottages – we would be delighted to hear from you. Hopefully this website will become a community of information and support and a celebration of Irish culture in the same spirit as times gone by.
Dublin City Cottages Project
Much has been made of the grand architecture of the city with all architectural books and studies concentrating on their splendour and deservedly so.
