Robin Hill, designed (1866) by Henry Hill (c.1806-87) of Cork, is characterised by a number of features typical of the Victorian period including an irregular plan and gabled roofline. The porch is particularly notable for its Gothic Revival design and the skill of its overall execution.

Yes: rated Regional (record 20828063).
Can you visit Robin Hill?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Robin Hill built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1865–1870.
Is Robin Hill protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
