    No it's not. I live beside it and it is definitely not built in the shape of a swastica.

    There is literally nothing swastika like about that house and there never has been. It's a myth.

    Oh, but ironically a descendant of a holocaust surviver lives across the road from the supposed swastika house.

    Ok I've got my fire torch, petrol bomb and a baseball bat with nails in it, and I can shake my fist if necessary. What time will the mob be convening at?
    I haven't been part of an angry mob for a while

    A German spy, undercover in a neutral country trying to contact members of the illegal IRA, living in a house that apparently people knew was owned by Germans sympathetic to the Nazis and shaped like a swastika?:rolleyes:

    The rumour started somewhere though.

    Is it possible the shape has changed (extensions, etc.) over the past 65 years?

    You've got a picture of an SS soldier as your sig. How do we know your not some sort of Nazi sympathiser and you're showing us a picture of just any old house in order to divert us from the real goings on there?

    look at the pic ? it's a 1920s Art Deco style house. There was 'supposed' to be a swastika mosaiq on the hall floor like the one I posted earlier.

    Trust me, it was NEVER shaped like a swastika, that's just urban myth bollox.

    This is a swastika building! ;)

    This was in a forest in the former East Germany, and after the unification, the authorities went bezerk about it. The land was in private hands and it took them years to remove them completely.

    .*edit

    bah ! you beat me to that one Donal ;)

    OK, relax. I said in this thread a LONG time ago that the house was the last one on the road from Terenure to Templeogue. My parents always referred to it as the 'Nazi' house. I seem to recall that an official of the German embassy either built it and/or lived there. It was 'reputed' to be used by spys....

    It's supposed swastika shape was probably because, lets face it, it is an unusual shape, even by todays standards.

    Bye, Barry

    P.S. the link to the OSI is probably the most useful thing that this thread has delivered, for me.

    Just so you know, here, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8366190.stm

    it says the UK Ordnance Survey will make all their data available online from next year. Then maybe we can find some swastika shaped houses there....:)
