Wow – that was built in 62/64??? I never knew it was that old. It’s aged fantastically!!!
The building only dominates from afar. You don’t really see it until you’re a bridge away on the canal (and the tall houses of Rathmines/Ranelagh block it from other directions).
To continue this theme of deceptively tall buildings, here’s the Central Bank with the ground sloping away from it. Looks short from the south, looks tall from the north.
