Editing Glasnevin (section)

===19th and 20th centuries===
In the 1830s, the civil parish population was recorded as 1,001, of whom 559 resided in the village. Glasnevin was described as a parish in the barony of [[Coolock (barony)|Coolock]], pleasantly situated and the residence of many families of distinction.<ref>{{cite book | title = Topographical Dictionary of Ireland | url = https://www.libraryireland.com/topog/G/Glasnevin-Coolock-Dublin.php | publisher = Lewis | author = Samuel Lewis | date = 1837 | access-date = 5 May 2020 | archive-date = 1 August 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200801022050/https://www.libraryireland.com/topog/G/Glasnevin-Coolock-Dublin.php | url-status = live }}</ref>

On 1 June 1832, Charles Lindsay, [[Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin]], and William John released their holdings of Sir John Rogerson's lands at Glasnevin, (including Glasnevin House) to George Hayward Lindsay. This transfer included the sum of 1,500 Pounds Sterling. Although this does not specifically cite the marriage of George Hayward Lindsay to Lady Mary Catherine Gore, George Lindsay almost certainly came into possession of the lands at Glasnevin as a result of his marriage.

When Drumcondra began to rapidly expand in the 1870s, the residents of Glasnevin sought to protect their district and opposed being merged with the neighbouring suburb.{{clarify|date=January 2024}} One of the objectors was the property owner, Dr Henry Gogarty, the father of the Irish poet, [[Oliver St. John Gogarty]]. The combined areas of [[Drumcondra, Clonliffe and Glasnevin]] became a separate administrative unit, a township, in 1878.  The township was merged into the City of Dublin in 1900, under the [[Dublin Corporation Act 1900]] ([[63 & 64 Vict.]] c. cclxiv).

George Hayward Lindsay's eldest son, Lieutenant Colonel [[Henry Gore Lindsay]], was in possession of his father's lands at Glasnevin when the area began to be developed at the beginning of the twentieth century. Gradual development of his lands began in 1903/04 but Glasnevin remained relatively undeveloped until the opening up of the Carroll Estate in 1914, which saw the creation of the redbrick residential roads running down towards Drumcondra. The process was accelerated by Dublin Corporation in the 1920s and the present shape of the suburb was in place by 1930.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}} Among the developers who built estates in the area were [[Alexander Strain]] and his son-in-law [[George Linzell]]. Linzell built the first individual house built in the [[International Style (architecture)|international style]] in Ireland, [[Balnagowan House]], on St. Mobhi Boithrin in the late 1920s.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Harrison|first=Bernice|date=15 July 2019|title=An Irishwoman's Diary on the sad fate of Wendon, 'Dublin's Wonder House'|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishwoman-s-diary-on-the-sad-fate-of-wendon-dublin-s-wonder-house-1.3957264|access-date=2022-01-05|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref>

The start of the 20th century also saw the opening of a short-lived railway station on the Drumcondra and North Dublin Link Railway line from Glasnevin Junction to [[Connolly Station]] (then Amiens Street). [[Glasnevin railway station]] opened on 1 April 1901 and closed on 1 December 1910.<ref name="gswr">{{cite web|title=Glasnevin Railway Station|publisher=Eiretrains|url=http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20G/Glasnevin/IrishRailwayStations.html | accessdate = 20 October 2021 }}</ref>
