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?
Was the Street named after the Hotel or vice versa?

Evidently originally called Exchequer Street ...
... In October 1837, property owners on the eastern end of Exchequer Street petitioned the Wide Streets Commission to rename their section of the street, aiming to shed the area's longstanding poor reputation that deterred high-quality tenants. The Commission granted the request, officially designating the eastern portion towards Grafton Street as Wicklow Street; the origin of the name "Wicklow" lacks clear documentation but may derive from the nearby County Wicklow ... "
And ...
"... At Nos. 6-8, the Wicklow Hotel—later known as Glendenning House—served as an early 20th-century hospitality venue, extensively remodelled circa 1907 by architect George O'Connor into a seven-bay four-storey structure with commercial elements.[21] Further alterations in the 1940s and 1950s, including a 1945 front wall rebuild by Thomas McNamara with concrete dressings and a circa 1950 partial reconstruction, adapted it for mixed retail and pub use while retaining its carriage archway. The site held cultural significance, hosting Dublin publisher Fergus O'Connor, who operated from there, producing nationalist postcards, early writings by Seán O'Casey, and related materials amid Ireland's independence struggles; O'Connor's imprisonment post-Easter Rising highlights its ties to nationalist circles. ...

Crikey! ...
"The Wicklow Hotel was a regular meeting point and place of leisure for Michael Collins and his associates who frequented the hotel for midday dinner or evening drinks, where all the staff knew them.
On the 28th of January 1921, the head porter of the Wicklow Hotel was shot dead in the hallway of the hotel. All eye witness statements led to Collins and his men being behind the execution.
But why would Collins be involved in the shooting of head porter Doran? Because Collins and his men had been informed that Doran was also working as a spy for the British, providing information to the Deputy Chief of British Intelligence in Ireland, Colonel Hill Dillon."

Edit: Via Trove the porter was called William Doran - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/23515885
Could he be the man in the doorway ?! -

The dia confirms 1907 remodelling, and this is the 7 bay result, so after 1907. Does not look new here, but the lady at left looks like prewar fashion...
