As it stood in 1932

What Blackrock College looked like in its prime.

A long, low range of grey rendered and stone buildings with regular rows of tall rectangular windows and crenellated parapets, punctuated by a taller square tower and a castellated 'castle' wing. The buildings sit behind expansive clipped lawns and formal sports fields, with mature broadleaf trees dotting the forecourt and partially screening façades; metal front gates and gravel drives give access. Surfaces are cool greys and pale stone, with deep green lawns and dappled summer light at midday.
