This was the name given to her new home built by her husband William on the corner of Kerrymount Avenue, Foxrock in 1903. Cooldrinagh House, was described by James Knowlson, Beckett's biographer, as "a very grand house, almost a mansion, dating from 1760, with imposing pillars at the front door, a flight of stone steps and a cast iron balustrade...".Beckett was born in Foxrock, Dublin on Good Friday 1906 and died in Paris on December 22, 1989.
