    I was looking of information on William J. Baxter in newspaper articles and found one from April 11, 1908 in the Washington Post that said he had been informed that a dog that bit him at the Navy Yard had tested positive for rabies and he would have to undergo treatment.

    That's the view up Bow Street and Market square to the courthouse.

    Here-ish (well, back a bit, but streetview can't get there): www.google.ie/maps/@54.511057,-6.044733,3a,75y,85.44h,79....

    It's actually the Market House and Assembly Rooms, not the courthouse. In my defence, it's about 30 years since I've been there and I didn't pay much attention to which building was what back then.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Aside from the view not being blocked by a load of random stuff, It looks in some respects (e.g. gradient) more like the view up bridge street. I wonder if there was ever an unobstructed view of the markethouse from there. Mind you, that would put the cathederal in the wrong place.

    It's now the Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum.
