1921 – Seamens Institute, Eden Quay, Dublin
Architect: W.M. Mitchell & Sons
The Seamens Institute on the corner of Marlborough Street and Eden Quay is another early 20th century building after the area was decimated during the 1916 Rising. Recently known as Lefroy House, a hostel run by the Salvation Army. A protected structure under the Dublin City Councils Development Plan and is described by the NIAH as being a “well-composed building articulated by neoclassical masonry detailing and a sense of symmetry provided by the fenestration pattern and central breakfront.”
