The plaque on the left says "Deutsches Kulturinstitut". The current version is at 62 Fitzwilliam Square.

Apparently in 1965 it was at 37 Merrion Square which matches the number on the door. In fact, up until Christmas at least the reading room was at Merrion Square. But it's closed for "reconstruction" until 2016. There's a picture of the door here, at the bottom. Streetview.

36-37 Merrion Square built in 1786, per the DIA
Niall McAuley said:
Development of Fitzwilliam (now Pembroke) estate instigated by 6th Viscount Fitzwilliam from 1752. Leases for the east side were issued from 1786. Nos. 37-40 (inclusive) were built as a block, and all are attributed to Samuel Sproule.

That is such a lovely photo. I see two are wearing the same style of dress. Doubtless they're sisters. I remember a girl telling me that she was from Ballymun and then added emphatically "but not the flats!" That would have been the early 70s.

Robin Parkes Good morning Robin, no that was taken in 1969 when the complex had just been opened! I remember a meeting with some of the people who lived in the towers and they occasionally referred to the people "on the level"! It took a while for the penny to drop - they were referring to those fortunate people who lived in the houses within the complex!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I edited my comment after seeing 1969. It was the "Taken on August 3, 2011" that threw me.

This photo must have been taken by Elinor, since Reginald died in 1968, the previous year. catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000046408 Requesting an updated and more detailed blurb about the Wiltshires, and/or a Wikipedia article. Please !

I love the square format and the use of a twin lens reflex.

The pillar box has Edward VII's whatsit, so it was put there 1900 - 1910 ? Ed.- O Mac posted first. And got Edward VII's dates right !

Looking at the StreetView, it appears the added P&T lettering is now gone. Probably been painted over?
