I think not a brick of this is still standing apart from the pillars of that gate on the right: Streetview

Thanks Niall McAuley - I had the same thought. It even made me question whether this was correctly labelled - but the gates and corner angle does seem to match. The baths (and building beyond) do look very ornate, so it's intriguing that only the lowly gate posts were "saved"...

The image in the Archiseek entry doesn't seem to match fully. Although, given that it gives a demolition date of 1970, what we may see here is the last vestiges (the other elements perhaps demolished before Mr Walker captured this shot...) We came across these baths on VictorianBathsDOTOrg when researching the baths in Bray. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/27855336191/

That archiseek page says closed in 1900 (hence, not marked on the 25" map), demolished in 1970.

I have a vague memory of seeing this in the RDS in Ballsbridge?

I was just gonna say DannyM8 that it didn't like any room in the National Museum that I know. But those pillars behind do look like the columns supporting the mezzanine in the RDS exhibition hall. I may however just be proving that I don't spend enough time in our capital's cultural institutions :) www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/21050077350/

WALTER POLLOCK HAMILTON VC ... www.inistioge.ie/150/Walter_Pollock_Hamilton_VC_.html "A slightly over-life-size statue of Hamilton striding over an Afghan threatening him with a knife was produced in bronze-painted plaster by Charles Bell Birch in Dublin in around 1880. It is now on display in the National Army Museum, Chelsea, as is a plaque to him (set up in the Punjab Frontier Force Chapel, then in the sanctum crypt of St. Lukes Chapel, Chelsea)."

Displaying this scene during the Siege of the British Residency in Kabul on September 3, 1879: "Hamilton faced the oncoming Afghan wave, and emptied his revolver into them before being overwhelmed and killed. His stand allowed his 5 surviving men to retreat inside the compound." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_British_Residency_in_K...

We have seen "X"s before on Hogan photos. Makes them look like targets.

Other press reports say that 5 of the 7 members of the delegation were Quakers.

In order that the truth of the existing conditions in Ireland should be known, the Committee sent a delegation of American citizens, all of whom were members of the religious Society of Friends, to make an impartial investigation and ascertain to what extent the American Committee might be called upon for aid. The delegation consisted of Messrs. R. Barclay Spicer, Phila- delphia, Pa. ; Oren B. Wilbur, Greenwich, N. Y. ; Philip W. Furnas, Canby, Ind. ; William Price, Philadelphia, Pa.; John C. Baker, Everett, Pa.; and Walter C. Longstreth, Philadelphia, Pa. They were accompanied by Messrs. C. J. France, Seattle, Wash., Chair- man, and Samuel D. McCoy, New York City, Secretary, and arrived in Ireland on February 12, 1921. Their report, which is printed in full on pages 62 to 67, was used as the basis of the amount of relief work that the Committee might have to furnish. archive.org/details/irelandcommitt00amerrich/page/48/mode... So if that's them, we're missing a few.

At the annual meeting of the Irish Agricultural Organization Society in Dublin on March 22nd last, at which Mr. France was present, the annual report was submitted. So possibly March 1921?
