National Heritage in Dublin and No. 3 Great Denmark Street

Here is a good description of our recently-renovated building at 3 Great Denmark Street, as described by www.buildingsofireland.ie:

"Rising above the adjoining buildings, No. 3 Great Denmark Street conforms to the plot size and detailing of many houses developed by John Ensor (1715-87), the architect and developer who was involved in the development of much of eighteenth-century Dublin. The building retains a good doorcase, similar to others on the street. The appropriate timber sash windows contribute substantially to the architectural character of this Georgian house, and the retention of the original railings, gate and plinth, and steps to the entrance, all provide context, an excellent street edge, and contribute to the architectural and streetscape quality of this impressive street."



Do you know that no. 3 was once the town residence of the Lord Norbury, better known as The Hanging Judge?
