1922 – Former Ulster Bank, Baggot Street, Dublin

A classically designed bank branch turning a corner from Baggot to Pembroke Street. Continuing the scale of the brick terraces of the Georgian streetscape, the final story is treated as an attic storey above the cornice. Symmetrical elevations to both streets, with a further extension along Pembrook Street. The building has a flat roof hidden behind the parapet.

The architect James A. Hanna was Belfast-based although he maintained an office in Dublin for a couple of years at this time. He was responsible for several branches of the Ulster Bank as well as a branch of the Hibernian bank on O’Connell Street in Dublin. The Irish Builder gives a different architect, but likely he was the supervising architect onsite.

The Ulster Bank Ltd have now opened their new premises at 130 Lower Baggot Street. These premises are large and commodious, and the outside elevation of the building is of a nice design, the entrance door being at the corner. Mr F.J. Macaulay, Molesworth Street was the architect, and the contractors were Messrs. J. and P. Good Ltd., Great Brunswick Street.
