🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1830 · NIAH rating: Regional
Temple Bar was named after Sir William Temple and his son Sir John Temple who acquired the land between the River Liffey and Dame Street in the seventeenth century. The area was fully reclaimed and developed by the early eighteenth century and became a mixed residential and commercial quarter. Commercial directories record a grocer and spirit dealer here, owned in the 1840s by Thomas Hunt, and in the 1890s by Thomas Murphy, indicating a continuity of use for over one hundred and seventy years. This building retains much of its early form and fabric, with timber sliding sash windows contributing to the patina of age evident in the composition, and render detailing lending textural variety to the façade. The shopfront adds contextual as well as decorative interest to the building.
