Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

Excuse me for butting in like this, but I’ve been amusing myself recently converting some stereo-pair photos from this stream to anaglyphs. You’ll need a pair of red-blue glasses to get the full 3D effect the photographer intended, but these can be had for less than the price of a (cheap) cup of coffee. I’ve converted four so far: Ross Castle (including stove-pipe hat) SS Adolphine Blackwater, featuring Mr Muttonchops and best of all, Doon Well and the woman with scary eyes

John Spooner John, are normal 3D glasses (from cinema) red-blue?

This is the original site of Alexandra College in a (to me at least) almost unrecognisable Earlsfort Terrace.

Streetview. There's another photo with a slightly different view in which what's now the NCH is a bit more recognisable.

Sharon Corbet Agree - what is that tower on the left?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
From Sharon Corbet Link. The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy. As Alexandra settled into its role, Anne Jellicoe was convinced that a major obstacle to the liberal education of women was their exclusion from the university campus. She passionately believed that until women were admitted to Trinity College Dublin (founded in 1592), the voice of women would not commonly be heard in politics, literature or in academic debate.
