KAVANAGH'S PUBLIC HOUSE Heritage

🏭 Heritage-listed building

Built: c.1900 · NIAH rating: Regional

Prominently located at the junction of Aughrim Street and Manor Street, this Victorian red brick public house enhances the streetscape with an individualistic and distinctive form. The public house was designed by George L. O’Connor in 1901, a Dublin architect whose varied commissions included Catholic churches, buildings for the Sisters of Mercy and the Christian Brothers, hospitals, libraries, commercial premises, cinemas, public and private housing. He also designed the International Bar on Wicklow Street, where he reprised the square-profile red brick piers. Originally built for William Robinson, tea, wine and spirit merchant, the building has maintained its original use as a public house. It replaced no.48 and no.49 Manor Street, and no.1 to no.3 Aughrim Street. The early twentieth-century building is of architectural interest, as well as artistic interest due to the use of terracotta tiles, faience panels and coloured glass to the ground floor windows. Manor Street is a broad street, mostly dominated by two-storey nineteenth century terraced houses, with some eighteenth century houses, and this later commercial building adds to the typological and architectural variety of the street.
