Turkish Bath, Lincoln Place, Dublin

    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"...
  • guliolopez said:
    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.

Gene Tunney at Trinity College

    The bust on the right might provide a clue, unless they are in the habit of moving busts around at Trinity College Library.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Michiel2005 I'd doubt that they do! Presuming this is Socrates?
  • Michiel2005 said:
    Possibly, but I suppose you have to visit TCL to be absolutely sure. Pictures of the Long Room are rare on the internet (as photography is not allowed there) and I don't remember it from my visit.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Tunney was very likely to visit the long room and would not have been out of place there at all at all!! Famously while training for his great battle against Jack Dempsey one of the great US boxing writers found him reading Shakespeare and wondered if it was just for effect? It wasn't! Tunney was intelligent, literate and very well read and more than just a bruiser. He has lots of relatives still in Ireland and they're no "daws" either!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie And from what I read about him in the Irish Independent reports of the visit, he was also very shy and quiet, hence not easy to interview for the newsmen who were far more used to very extrovert sportsmen...
