This is the original site of Alexandra College in a (to me at least) almost unrecognisable Earlsfort Terrace.

Streetview. There's another photo with a slightly different view in which what's now the NCH is a bit more recognisable.

Sharon Corbet Agree - what is that tower on the left?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Apparently Amiens Street station used to be on Earlsfort Terrace.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
From Sharon Corbet Link. The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy. As Alexandra settled into its role, Anne Jellicoe was convinced that a major obstacle to the liberal education of women was their exclusion from the university campus. She passionately believed that until women were admitted to Trinity College Dublin (founded in 1592), the voice of women would not commonly be heard in politics, literature or in academic debate.

Looks like two Austin cars in the picture: an Austin A40 Devon (1947-52) on the right and a pre-war Austin Seven, which I think is a Long saloon of 1932-4, on the left.

I checked in the Thom's Directories and the Rabaiotti Bros. don't appear until 1910 at no. 49 Amiens Street (for a couple of years before that, an Angelo Santi worked out of that address). The Rabaiotti's are listed as Merchants in 1910 and 1911. By 1914, they've expanded into no. 50 next door and are listed as Confectioners also.

www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000193785/ rabaiotti family in 1911 but very much Fish Merchants.
John Spooner said:
There were Rabaiottis in Swansea when I lived there in the 1980s. I think they ran a café.
Flickr confirms they are still there.

Most of the well-known Italian cafe dynasties in South Wales came from the Bardi region in the 1920s/1930s.

I wonder if the Irish Rabiottis are from the same part of Italy?

Describing the Italian cafe influx into South Wales www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/proud-history-valle... This sentence struck me. "Various members of the Rabaiotti families also had cafes and ice-cream carts on the streets well before 1907." Perhaps the Irish ones came via S Wales.
