TRINITY CITY HOTEL Heritage

🏭 Heritage-listed building

Built: c.1905 · NIAH rating: Regional

Dame Street derives its name from a dam that powered a mill on the River Poddle. It was one of the principal streets of the city by the eighteenth century, leading from the Parliament House (now Bank of Ireland) to the Castle. The street was widened and remodelled by Samuel Sproule and Charles Tarrant of the Wide Street Commissioners in the late eighteenth century. Individual landowners were responsible for constructing new houses, while the Commission financed the additions of cut stone embellishments. With the introduction of commercial buildings and financial institutions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many buildings were rebuilt or remodelled. This pair was built in 1908 for the Hibernian Fire & General Insurance Company to the designs of Joseph Holloway with later alterations by Thomas Joseph Cullen. The composition is well-proportioned with an arcaded shopfront of ashlar limestone, the work of a skilled artisan.
