I don't think there'll be any street view inside there? This entire area was a warren of streets and laneways until the start of the slum clearances and the construction of the Iveagh Trust buildings for Guinness employees nearby!

I think the building to the left is called Something Mansion, a very grandiose term in a slum district like this.

19031881 description ...... In the older part of Dublin, between the Castle and the River Liffey runs off from Werburgh-street a narrow alley which then brought you into a small square of dismal brick houses, called 'Derby-square.' Very few of the wealthier and more fashionable inhabitants of Dublin know the existence. of this dreary quadrangle. The houses were high and dingy; many of the windows were patched with paper; clothes lines extended across from window to window, and on the whole the place had an air of having seen better days — better, but never very good. In this Derby-square, it appears, was a boys' school; and here Clarence Mangan received what scholastic training he ever had. ...
From a Freeman's Journal (Sydney, Australia) article talking about the centenary of James Clarence Mangan's birth. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/108254409 Edit: It appears the description is even older than 1903 - it appears in this 1881 newspaper - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/200455966 -
