1827 – Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, Aungier Street, Dublin

A large complex of buildings incorporating a church, friary, as well as an adjacent community centre by Shay Cleary Architects. The church is entered by the Aungier Street doorway, flanked by two statues, passing through a long hall off which open various rooms and shrines and finally into the rear of the church. The original church by George Papworth of 1827 is now the southern aisle after an extension in 1844, while the main body of the church is by an unknown architect. A northern aisle was added in 1858 by J.J. McCarthy in an Italian Romanesque style.

The church has been remodelled many times – including a side chapel to Our Lady of Lourdes which was designed by George C. Ashlin in 1876; by Charles B. Powell circa 1920; lastly in 1955 by R.H. Byrne. The most significant change was by John J. Robinson when he reversed the orientation in 1951 and added the high altar baldacchino, and five new chapels in the northern aisle.

Interior decoration over the years has included scagliola work by Patrick Boylan around 1842, stained glass windows by Mayer & Co. in the late 19th century, Early & Co. in 1930, and Hubert McGoldrick around 1950.
The friary buildings mask the church from Aungier Street.
