Description: South Dublin Village Walks - Templeogue Stop 7: Kilvare. Mr. Geoffrey Foot, the brother of Lundy Foot of Orlagh, lived here in 1812. He built a massive wall along the bank of the Dodder to keep out floods. Archbishop Magee succeeded Foot in living here. In 1822, when the old Archbishop's Palace in Tallaght was sold, a number of fittings were said to have been transferred to Kilvare. The next occupier was John Sealy Townshend, Master in Chancery, followed by John E. Roche. In 1880 the house was taken by John McConchy, a miller, and probably a relation of the family who operated the mill which stood nearby on the opposite side of the modern day road. In 1922 Kilvare became Cheeverstown Convalescent Home for Little Children, and is now Cheeverstown House, a centre for those with intellectual disabilities. The old house has been completely renovated and there are many workshops erected in the grounds.
