ParticipantI went for a walk in Town this wek and was reminded of some candidates for ,if not the worst building position,then at least the top dozen or score.
1.The red brick lump just upriver from the attractive Carrols-Nationwide building,
2.The Deloitte and Touche building, the black one, on Hatch street.
3.The Warrington (?) building just behind the Peppercanister Church which intrudes on the view from Upper Mount Street.
4.FitzWilton House on Mespil RoadJune 14, 2007 at 11:09 pm #716113John66
ParticipantHow about Phoenix House in Smithfield -home to the Family Law Office. Vile.

ParticipantThere’s two for your money on Marlborough St..
That thing, the multi-storey car park which was clearly designed from the inside out and only had a wall put on as a last minute thing.
And the Eircom building, which actually has nice proportions if nothing else.How can the ugliest building not be Hawkins House, though?

ParticipantThe Motor Tax office on Chancery street behind the Four Courts is quite bad. Every time I pass it I want to kill myself so I do.

ParticipantHaving not previously seen the thread, the title put me in mind of one building. As I’m from down the country, I didn’t know the name, but I could describe its location.
Sure enough, it turned out to be Hawkins House:rolleyes:
