You have to be a little careful with the photographs of Coastguard Stations, since most were build during a major building programme in the 1860's, prior to this date most CGs lived in rented cottages close to their station. However, between 1829 and 1842 the OS mapped Ireland, these are available to view online at http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,591271,743300,0,10, just tick the historic maps box, and zoom in on the area you are interested in.

It may not be of any direct interest, but JTB served on HMS Wellesley during the 1st China War, and was awarded the China Medal, and was then called up while working as a Coastguard to help man the ships of the Baltic Fleet during the Crimean War where he served on HMS Royal George, being awarded the Baltic Medal.
