    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 ...

    "... 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.

    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."

    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...
