1875 – Oarsman Public House, Ringsend, Dublin

Elaborate stucco facade marks out this public house from the rest of the street – the pediment contains a representation of a round tower, a celtic high cross and an Irish Wolfhound – the epitome of Irishness. Decorated by stuccodores Burnet and Comerford, whose masterpiece was the sadly demolished Irish House bar on Winetavern Street and Wood Quay.
