Post 1916 reconstruction
1917 – Nos.18-19 Henry St, Dublin
Architect: G.P. Beater
Reconstructed after the 1916 Easter Rising for F.W. Woolworth & Co., as their second Dublin store. An enormous store, after the chain’s closure in Ireland in 1984, it was split up into seven retail units, four on Henry Street, and three in the GPO Arcade. This is a fine facade with large windows and a broken pediment. George Beater was the architect for many rebuilt commercial premises along Henry Street.
