Appraisal
Ormond Quay Lower was the first of the quays to be built on the north bank of the River Liffey in the late seventeenth century and is largely attributed to the Duke of Ormond. This late nineteenth-century brick building clearly demonstrates the use of staggered plots to follow the curve of the street and river. Although not in use, the building retains its original fabric and appearance while forming part of an intact stretch of quayside buildings.
