One of four early 20th century fire stations in Dublin by the City Architect C.J. McCarthy. This, now part of the National College of Art & Design (NCAD) campus and known as Harry Clarke House, has been recently restored by MOLA Architecture to show off its fine brick and stonework. The interior engine halls with their glazed brick have been restored to provide a formal entrance to the college and extra lecture space.
