I think #9 is on Green Street East, between Sir John Rogerson’s Quay and Hanover Quay.
Nope, no. 9 is Spirt night club. Thats all thats left now of the old building. Not sure of the street name, that facade is off liffey street/abbey street.
Great Strand Street or more probably the street called Lotts (continuation of GSS)- one of those, eh? It rings a bell, alright.
Correct #9 is the back of a warehouse on the Lotts

oh you’re good….
Haven’t a clue about 10 – Capel St area maybe?
9 is a killer – recognise it so well I feel I pass it every day, but cannot place it 🙁
Looks like a combo of Harcourt St Station, the Kildare St Club and the Social Welfare Office on Gardiner Street!10 might be another trick question, if the plaque’s been moved, but is it (was it) Castle Street? One of the redbricks- can’t remember if it’s north or south side of the street though.
*tosses coin*
South side?
Well I was looking in your excellent architectural archive as I thought it might have been in the zoo, and I came across the Garda Officers’ Club. I must go get my lotto ticket.:)
I aim soon to buy a digital camera and figure out how it all works. I was wondering though, is it difficult to put pictures up on this forum, e.g., on this thread?
In the meantime, three non-visual questions with tenuous architectural connections::)
Which 3 Dublin streets have an Upper, Middle and Lower Section?
Which is the only pub in Dublin to run the entire length of a street?
Which is the only pub in Dublin which has an entrance on 3 different streets/roads?
Gardiner and Abbey streets both have Lower, Middle and Upper sections. Mountjoy Street used to have all three, but I think Upper and Lower are now just called Mountjoy Street.

Hanlons on the NCR?
As far as I know, there is still a middle Mountjoy Street – I just did a google search and it came up with, e.g. , an Irish Times article about a property on the street in October ’05.
Hanlon’s it is indeed – doors on Old Cabra Road, North Circular Road and Annamoe Road.

There is still a Middle Mountjoy Street.
At one point there was Lower, Middle and Upper Liffey Street
