CollectionMasonic Female Orphan School
Collection DescriptionThe fund for the education of the daughters (and, separately, the sons) of deceased freemasons was started in 1792, but the school took another seven or eight years to establish. The school moved several times, but after the Burlington Road site was disapproved by Medical Officers, on grounds of overcrowding, it moved to Merrion Road, near the Royal Dublin Society in 1882.
