    Looks like one for the no longer standing album. Here, I reckon: goo.gl/maps/sobwpynQejbBxs1Y9

    Opened 6th March 1901 as the Jammet Hotel, formerly the Burlington Restaurant. (advert in Dublin Evening Mail - Saturday 02 March 1901) "The only French restaurant in Dublin" - advert in Irish Times - Thursday 13 June 1901.

    Proprietor(?) was Mr. Louis (or Jammet (or should that be M. Louis Jammet?), who gave evidence at the inquest of Mr. Thomas Doyle and Mrs. Elizabeth Doyle. Mr. Doyle had worked at the hotel for 12 or 13 years. (Dublin Daily Express - Tuesday 15 August 1916)

    Louis Jammet in the DIctionary of Irish Biography This says the proprietor was his dad Michel Jammet until 1927, when Louis took over.

    None of the commecial signs - Gilbey's, Murphy's, Fry's Chocolate give any clear indications for dating.

    Okay - I think a fair case could be made for a post-1901 dating. Dromdaleague (sic) & Dromdaleague Town are both found in the Bredagh Electoral District in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses respectively. Have a look at the first page of the building returns for each census - 1901: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000587781/ 1911: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002012724/ Now, Samuel Kingston's pub is found at House 7 in both returns, so I'm confident that we're dealing with roughly the same part of town. However, in 1901, there's no trace of (Richard) Kingston's Hotel with 21 windows in front. Indeed, having searched the other pages of the 1901 census's building return, I can't find trace of any hotel of that size in Drimoleague. So I suspect that the hotel was built post-1901.
