    I think I see a Dog? I see a woman on the roof playing a harpsichord??? - she might be playing "Money In The Bank" by Lonesome River Band!

    Description Detached multiple-bay two- and three-storey double-pile Art Nouveau bank, built c.1910, with an advanced gable-fronted bay to west and porch to east. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and terracotta ridge tiles. Roughcast render to walls with tooled stone quoins, plinth, string course, parapet and cornice. Entrance porch with semi-circular pediment and double timber panelled doors. Second door opening with timber and glazed panelled door with concrete hood approached by steps. Timber sash windows with stone block-and-start surrounds. Circular windows in front and eastern elevations with stained glass panes in eastern elevation. Stone plinth with cast-iron railings to front. Bank fronts directly onto street. Appraisal This bank is a rare Irish example of Art Nouveau architecture, possibly designed by W.H. Byrne or Godfrey William Ferguson. The artistic detailing on the exterior is of high-quality craftsmanship and enhances the elaborate form of the bank. The building is an interesting architectural addition to the streetscape and is representative of quality twentieth-century architecture.

    An almost empty entry in the DIA says the building was referenced in 1910, so it must have been built by/around that time.

    For a start ..........21st October 1805 was a good day for some.

    Noblett's sweet shop was around in 1916 - it was occupied by the rebels.
  • ccferrie said:
    According to this discussion forum Thom's directory has Nobletts there from 1922 through to 1956 and Laird's from 1922 through to 1941 (but not 1956) - presume these records aren't exhaustive though and they may have both been there earlier than that.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Laird's appears from another angle here:

    O Mac Thank you! Which was, of course, the Battle of Trafalgar where Nelson died.
