Balnagowan House

Balnagowan House also known as Wendon or Bealnagown House is a historic building in Glasnevin, Dublin. It is considered the first individual house built in the international style in Ireland.
Balnagowan House was built under the name Wendon in the late 1920s by the Dublin developer George Linzell. Linzell commissioned the London architect, Harold Greenwood, to design the house. The name Wendon is an amalgamation of the names of Linzell's two children's names, Don and Wendy. Linzell used the house as an advertisement for his speculative building business. After its completion the magazine Irish Builder described the house as "Dublin's Wonder House" in 1932. It is regarded as the first individual house in Ireland to have been built in a modernist or international style of architecture. Linzell, the son-in-law of Alexander Strain, built this family home within the larger development of houses he was building along Mobhi Road and off the Ballymun Road. Linzell sold the house in 1938, when he moved to Ballsbridge where he was building more houses.
