Read source trail🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1815 · NIAH rating: Regional
This building retains much of its early form and character, making a contribution to the architectural heritage of the quay. The modest exterior is subtly enlivened by the addition moulded render detailing and by a well-designed arcaded shopfront to the front elevation. It is located at the intersection of Wellington Quay and Fownes Street Lower which provides access to Temple Bar. Wellington Quay was laid out c.1815, and it is thought that the former quay line pass through this site. Prior to its formalisation, buildings backed directly onto this stretch of the River Liffey.
