About Vista
The National Inventory rates Vista Regional, one of 19 in Raheny. Its record dates Vista to 1930–1935. 2 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This especially attractive 1930s house was designed by the architect, Frank Gibney, as his own home. The presence, in the hall ceiling, of the original plans, is of particular architectural and contextual interest, and was innovative.

Questions about Vista
Is Vista on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50030360).
Can you visit Vista?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Vista built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1930–1935.
Is Vista 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.
