1753 – Parnell Square, Dublin
1807 – Grand Canal Hotel, Portobello, Dublin
Architect: Thomas Colbourne
The hotel was one of five operated between Dublin and the Shannon and opened in 1807 and operated until 1860 despite passenger services being stopped in 1852. Sited beside the former Portobello basin (now filled in), this is a simple classical building with nice proportions. The hotel was later converted into a nursing home where the artist Jack B. Yeats spent his last years.
