== Druid Lodge ==
=== Peter Pearson Says ===
Druid Lodge was built in the 1830s but was greatly enlarged some thirty years later by the addition of a new block to the front. This extension, with its rendered walls, projecting pilastered porch and fine Victorian interiors, gave the house new views over Killiney Bay. The plasterwork cornices with their ivy leaf motif, the ceiling roses and the woodwork are all of great quality. In its grounds is a curious stone structure, known as the ‘spite tower’, which is said to have been built close to the neighbouring house in order to cause annoyance! This, however, is probably a myth as the tower was built long before any house appeared on the site of Druid Hill. It is more likely that the Victorian owners of Druid Lodge wished to have a better sea view, and some time in the 1850s they erected this fine castellated granite tower, with windows and a viewing platform.

== Killiney Park House ==
=== Peter Pearson Says ===
Killiney Park House, a five-bay, two-storey, non-basement residence, was probably built about 1830. It had a hipped roof with over-hanging eaves. The house had two entrances, one from Killiney Avenue and one from Killiney Hill Road, and a walled garden of about half an acre. There is a small folly tower, built of granite, which stands on a former driveway to the east of the house. Following its sale in 1965, Killiney Park was demolished and a group of large, split-level houses was developed, now called Killiney Heath.

Robert Warren junior took over the running of the Warren Estate after the death of his father in 1869. It was he who successfully managed to resolve the outstanding debt issues on the estate. He had been living directly across the road from Killiney Castle in Wyvern since 1860, when it was built. It appears that by selling off parts of the estate he managed to retain ownership of Killiney Park, Vico Fields and Wyvern. In 1887 he finally sold the main estate for £5,000 to allow for the creation of the public amenity we now know as Killiney Hill Park. It was not until 1889 that agreement was eventually reached with the owners, including Warren, which allowed for the opening of the Vico Road to the public. He remained in Wyvern until his death in 1894.
