Appraisal
The variety of fabric employed in the design of this building, with granite pilasters, cornice, keystones and consoles interacting with red brick, provides textural interest to the façade while connecting it with the wider range of fabrics in the streetscape. Red brick is also used decoratively, with two central pilasters adding a pleasing symmetry to the building. It was rebuilt following the widespread destruction during the 1916 Rising, and retains much of its original fabric, including timber sash and casement windows.
