Finally got gunter’s H. A Walk to work always delivers results! A wonderfully quirky keystone that bends into the façade.
Morlan’s D is such a beautiful scene. Can’t place it though – thinking the side of a Dame Street building…
so this time we’re just going to give ourselves full marks for paper 1 and jump straight to paper 2
. . . . . without answering any of the actual questions.O _ K a y
Gunter
E – Law Society, Blackhall Place
Morlan
A – is that down the back of Thomas Street, or Cornmarket, I just cannot place it
b- church street?
d- just bugging me bad
Not sure it is Paul.
gunter’s D is a rooftop cupola of one of the wings of Blackhall Place. H is James’s Street Post Office. C is the wonderfully severe rear elevation of the Pro-Cathedral.
Morlan’s A is Watkins Brewery on Ardee Street/’St. Luke’s Avenue’. C looks like South Richmond Street, but it’s not. Tsk. Nearly sure D is a Temple Bar street. Has to be!

“The Guinness Brewery was the once extensive Watkins, Jameson, Pim & Company Brewery on Ardee Street. The entire complex, including the 19th c Brewers’ house and stone warehouse which are protected structures, stand awaiting the planning decision of the City Council regarding their future.” Hmm..

Sure is, Graham. It’s beside Tambuli on Cope Street. A lovely capture by infomatique:

It’s on the North Side. There’s another yellow brick to the left and a red brick to the right.

Not Church Street, Paul. Here’s a crop of the church in the reflection:
Well, Gunter’s G has to be somewhere in the Crumlin-ish area. I think I’ve seen it, but I can’t place it, and am too far removed to get on the bike.
Morlan’s B, for some reason, reminds me of something I’ve seen near Stamer Street, off the SCR. Or Synge Street. That vicinity, in any case.
Probably wrong, though.
Thanks to both Gunter and Morlan for the pictures.
Though that crop in Morlan’s most recent post reminds me of the church in Arbour Hill. But how can that be reflected in the window of a house?

You’re in the rightish area anyway.
Church of The Holy Family, Aughrim St. (St. Joseph’s Rd. above)
The foundation stone of the church was laid by Cardinal Cullen in April 1874 and the first Mass was celebrated on the 8th December 1876. At the time it was a Chapel of Ease to St. Paul’s, Arran Quay. On The 18th May 1893, Aughrim Street was constituted a parish by Most Rev. William Walsh, the then Archbishop of Dublin.
The Church built in the Gothic style is considered to be one of the finest in the Archdiocese; it has underegone a major refurbishment in the years 1997 to 2005.

the stone building is saying Blackpitts to me
It’s far from the Blackpitts. Here’s the other side:
And here’s the building next to it 😀
C’mon!
Ah Morlan, ya gave it away with the magnificent St. Agatha’s on North William Street.
North Great Clarence Street it is, off North Strand. Now there’s a street of cottages with notions!
Google Street View
A most unusual collection of buildings that suvived the wartime bombing. Behind the church is also a wonderful 1910s OPW-style parochial house with picturesque modillion eaves.

Was getting impatient! It’s an interesting little area, isn’t it?

Complete with traditional PVC door. Bleh.
Any info on this t-shaped building that extends down beside Catherine Court?
