    Where does one go to find out when a building was built I am trying to do a bit of clarification on a housing estate that was built in 1892. Also when a school was built in the 20th century.

    1 Various editions of OS maps = earliest editions 1838.

    2, In some areas earlier maps by other mappers

    3. Valuations started in 1852 - every building measured and valued

    4. For National Schools, Dept of Education have records for each National School

    Libraries probably have back issues of Thoms Street Directory for Dublin at least.
