The college's main buildings were the historic Drumcondra House designed by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce for Marmaduke Coghill, Purcell House, O'Donnell house, and Senior house. The architect J. J. McCarthy extended the house and designed a college quadrangle, however, only two sides were built. The college chapel was designed by George Ashlin in 1876, replacing an earlier chapel by McCarthy, the south side of the chapel is dominated by Evie Hone's stained glass window.[34]
All Hallows Trust[edit]
Following the winding down of the college, the All Hallows Trust was set up to maintain the legacy and heritage of the college, and continue with a number of activities. Continued activities by the trust were enshrined in the agreement to sell the college to DCU. The Trust maintains an office on campus. The All Hallows trust supports a number of academic activities such as the publication of books and papers on the college and Vincentian tradition, it also manages the All Hallows Trust PhD scholarships.[51] It also supports the All Hallows Association and the All Hallows Alumni Network(AHAN) for events such as the annual Jubilee Mass,[52] and the annual advent mass (continuing on from the college carol service). The Trust also supported the meeting of alumni in the Passionist Retreat Centre near Sacramento, California, in May 2022. Other events the trust support include book launches and talks.[53]
