THE HUT Heritage

🏭 Heritage-listed building

Built: c.1895 · NIAH rating: Regional

This public house makes an interesting contribution to the architectural character of the area around Doyle's Corner. Its traditional late nineteenth-century shopfront retains a number of early features including an unusual distorting mirror. A good Victorian interior survives intact. A public house was in operation on this site as early as 1832 and, ten years later, Michael Campion was named as the proprietor of a grocery and toddy shop. The Hut was described as a possible meeting place of extremists in a report (14th November 1894) by Assistant Commissioner John Mallon (1839-1915) of the Dublin Metropolitan Police [NA DMP/9246/5]. The hut was occupied in the late 1890s by Hugh Temple (1861-1906), a grocer and vintner, and an increase in value from £10 to £80 between 1897 and 1899 suggests that the property was redeveloped at this time. It is possible the redevelopment was to designs by John Hampden Shaw (1856/7-1932) of Westmoreland Street.
