Beaumont, Dublin
Beaumont (Irish: Beaumont) is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, bordered by Donnycarney, Santry and Artane. It lies within the postal districts of Dublin 5 and Dublin 9.
The name is derived from the French for "beautiful mount" as the parish is located atop an ascent from Fairview and is inspired by its clean air and views across Dublin to the Wicklow Mountains. The name was apparently given by Olivia Whitemore and Arthur Guinness in 1764, as they made their new family home in Beaumont House, a protected structure and can be visited today.
Beaumont was originally a farm in the Civil Parish of Coolock, between the townlands of Kilmore Big and Kilmore Little.[citation needed] It is the former home of the Guinness family from 1764 to 1855. The original 1764 lease between Charles Gardiner and Arthur Guinness can still be seen in the National Library of Ireland. Guinness took 51 acres (210,000 m2) "more or less situate in the Parish of Coolock" on a lease for the longer of 31 years or three lives, and built a house "at Kilmore"; it is apparent that he later named the property "Beaumont". His rent was £93 p.a.
In 1900 Beaumont House residence was bought by The Sisters of Mercy who opened a convalescent home there to provide aftercare for patients from the Mater Hospital.
RTÉ had a radio transmitter in Thorndale, Beaumont (off Beaumont Road, where Collinswood estate is now), from which from 1982 broadcast RTÉ Radio 2 on 1278 kHz AM to the Dublin region, it ceased broadcasting on 15 December 2003. RTÉ used the Beaumont facility to jam radio signals from pirate radio stations in the 1980s.
Beaumont is the location of one of Dublin's main hospitals, Beaumont Hospital, and the Sister of Mercy Convalescent Home. Other facilities include a small group of shops and two pubs.
A former home of Arthur Guinness, which he built in 1764 and named Beaumont House from which the area got its name, is also called Guinness House, is now a convalescent home for the elderly, run by the Sisters of Mercy in recent years it has been bought by the HSE; there was an ice house on its lands.
Beaumont is mainly a residential area consisting of large housing estates, the first large development in the area being Elm Mount Estate (1960s), Beaumont Woods - a recent development which houses Beaumont Medical Centre and is located next to Beaumont Hospital - Collinswood and Ardmore and Montrose.
