1903 – Foley’s Hotel, Wicklow Street, Dublin

Custom built hotel to designs of Albert E. Murray in his characteristic style with red brick and yellow or buff terracotta detailing. This stylistic feature of his work was known amongst architects as “Murray’s Mellow Mixture” and was a reference to a tobacco product from Murrays in Belfast. The original ground floor, seen in the period postcard was rebuilt circa 1915 by Patrick Munden during a conversion to a drapery. The building now contains shops and offices on the upper floors.
