    Constant They demolished the rest of it and the space stood empty until it was replaced by the Spire in 2003.

    Presumably replaced by the monstrosity that is now the Department of Social Protection's offices that deal with those who are sadly homeless?

    "A number of firemen had an anxious moment" - I bet they did!
  • yousif abdelrazaq said:
    nice shot
  • Moira said:
    g.co/maps/snzxy yes it was replaced by quite an ugly building which is probably listed now!

    I think not a brick of this is still standing apart from the pillars of that gate on the right: Streetview
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thanks Niall McAuley - I had the same thought. It even made me question whether this was correctly labelled - but the gates and corner angle does seem to match. The baths (and building beyond) do look very ornate, so it's intriguing that only the lowly gate posts were "saved"...

    The image in the Archiseek entry doesn't seem to match fully. Although, given that it gives a demolition date of 1970, what we may see here is the last vestiges (the other elements perhaps demolished before Mr Walker captured this shot...) We came across these baths on VictorianBathsDOTOrg when researching the baths in Bray. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/27855336191/

    That archiseek page says closed in 1900 (hence, not marked on the 25" map), demolished in 1970.
