THE DAWSON LOUNGE Notable

🏭 Heritage-listed building

Built: c.1865 · NIAH rating: Regional

Laid out by Joshua Dawson in the early eighteenth century, Dawson Street was largely complete by 1728 as a prestigious residential district. The thoroughfare remained unchanged until the nineteenth century when it became a fashionable commercial street with many of its early residences replaced by purpose-built commercial buildings. The facade of No. 25 is distinguished by original decorative features, including various mouldings and a swagged frieze. The building is noted as accommodating the smallest public house in Dublin in its basement. The early timber shopfront surround remains relatively intact, although the display windows and doors have been replaced. This building contributes to the variety and architectural quality of Dawson Street.
