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

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.

The door is in Trinity College: www.flickr.com/photos/belfastsocrates/14321951182/in/gall...

I was not too far away from that spot today at 11 am on 11/11/11 and I prayed for all those who had died in that war. It is interesting that so soon after independence so many people would turn out for a commemoration like that. The rot of intolerance must have come later? Look at the people on the roofs of Trinity - Health and Safety would have a hissy fit today!

Swordscookie Checked the newspaper reports, and it was obvious that everyone was trying their best, but there were tensions! Look how controversial the whole topic of poppy-wearing is to this day, let alone so close after WWI, the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War...

Great piece of history.

We forget sometimes what Armistice day means

This is fascinating and deeply moving ... as a Canadian with Irish roots in my ancestry, I am eternally grateful and humbled by the selfless bravery exemplified here.
