Open House -2014

I love visiting buildings so Open House is one of my favorite events. The  Irish Architecture Foundation Showcase buildings old and new. Some are private  buildings not normally open to the public and some are public but with  the enthusiasm of the guides the buildings history and origins come alive.This year I decided to visit The  National Botanic Gardens and Broadstone Train station which is disused as a train station.  Thank you National Botanic gardens Bus Eireann and Irish Architecture foundation.

The view from the Bus Eireann Boardroom in Broadstone Train Station



I passed by this spot everyday on the bus to school, It was great to see the statue of our lady from a different angle.





There is a workshop now where the platforms once stood.
