Hi, and welcome to Rootschat
I haven’t looked at this one for a long time!

The building is interesting, because in 1901 census it has 13 rooms and (iirc) 6 front windows. I have not been able to find the equivalent house in 1911 census. Owned by a richard Buckley as you say, who does not appear in 1911, but a Mrs Buckley does. I assume he died, and she gained ownership of the properties but I haven’t checked.

Hope1986, describes a school on the Kendlestone road, but in the 1940s, but I don’t think this can have been the same school if it wasn’t there in 1911
There are not many buildings in the old 19c town land of Delgany, and indeed there are not so many listed on the census of 1901, but I don’t know of any way to match buildings on the census to location on the ground ( except perhaps going in to Griffiths and checking out the Buckley properties) which I haven’t done.
There is a school shown on the old map, but up by Bellevue, and another two schools in Delgany itself (presumably one COI and one RC). I’m still confused
