Dublin Picture Game

Wishbone Ash

Fair play to you folks. The only one I would have known was the house on the NCR and actually have a non-digital pic of it taken around 1992!

Very impressive jdivision, here's the full Quirkey just for you

Possibly worst designed building in Dublin. A mix of every style going. Maybe Hawkins House is worse but it's a tight run thing.

Dr Quirkes' son is going out with Rosanna Davison. If they got married could you imagine the scene...Dr Quirke could design their house and Chris De Burgh could sing at the wedding. CLASSY :rolleyes:

Is 1 Sarah Curran. I'm guessing that who it is as I think that's in front of the hire shop in Rathfarnham.

the boss of me

That her alright Giddyup, well spotted....

100 years ago the fire stations were: Buckingham Street, Dorset Street, Thomas Street, Tara Street and Rathmines. Rathmines was under Rathmines Urban District Council, all the others were Dublin Corporation.

All survive in some form.

Buckingham Street. Artists studios.

Dorset Street. Karate hall and other uses?

Thomas Street. Derelict, inhabited by pigeons, last used as emergency accommodation. Paid for by the John's Lane Distillery (Paddy's?)

Tara Street. Renovated and altered, now includes hotel and night club!

Rathmines. Being renovated.

jdivision

Is 8 the flats on Dorset St?

Victor, in relation to Tara st, they're geting rid of nightclub/pub and turning that part into part of the hotel.

You're not paying attention jdivision - post 2352 already confirmed that it was not Dorset Street flats!
