1865 – Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin
Architect: John McCurdy
The Royal Marine Hotel as intended by architect John McCurdy, described in The Irish Builder as French Renaissance style. Sadly, almost the entire right-hand wing was never constructed as illustrated. In later years, the dome and mansard roof were removed and a modern flat roof and extra floor added. These were later removed, and the building extended upwards to four floors with the addition of a new mansard roof and extra storey to the tower.
