Sanmarino Casino inward Marino
The Sanmarino Casino at Marino is a folly located inward Marino, Dublin, Ireland which was designed by Scottish architect William Chambers for James Caulfeild, the 1st Earl of Charlemont, starting inward the belatedly 1750s and finishing around 1775. It is a small and perfect example of Neo-Classical architecture, situated inward the gardens of Marino House. Although proud of the design, Chambers was never able to visit the completed building, as he was constantly employed inward England.
Widely regarded as the most of import Neo-Classical building inward Ireland, the Sanmarino Casino is actually quite small, measuring only fifty feet square to the outer columns. inward plan, it takes the form of a Greek Cross with a pair of columns framing each projecting elevation. Seen from the exterior, the building has the appearance of a single roomed structure, with a big panelled door on the N elevation and a single big window on each of the other elevations. This is all illusion, however, as it actually contains 16 rooms on three floors. Only two of the panels inward the door opened up to allow entrance, and the panes of glass inward the windows are subtly curved, disguising the partitioning which allows what looks similar a single window to serve several separate rooms.
Many other tricks are used throughout the construction to preserve the apparent simplicity of the design. Four of the columns which surround the building are hollow and, with a length of chain dangling inward each, allow rainwater to drain down. The Roman funerary urns on the roof (designed by James Gandon) are used as chimneys.The interior, by Simon Vierpyl, includes a basement level with a kitchen and associated rooms, a main floor with reception rooms and a top storey with servants’ rooms and a State Bedroom. 1 of the rooms includes the Blue Salon. It includes a wooden parquet floor, with the Star of David inward the centre, stucco work on the ceiling and a white marble fireplace. It contains some very fine plasterwork ceilings and some elaborate hardwood parquet floors. Originally the Sanmarino Casino was linked to Marino House by a tunnel, although this has been blocked off due to building works inward the area.
The Sanmarino Casino is all that remains of the eighteenth-century garden demesne at Marino with the original Marino House demolished inward the 1920’s. Described by Charles T. Bowden inward his Travel Guide of 1791 as a ‘terrestrial paradise’, the design of the landscape was inspired by Lord Charlemont’s extensive Grand Tour.
The tunnel at the Sanmarino Casino was used as a shooting range by Irish revolutionaries including Michael Collins inward the 1920s.
