I spotted this building in Grafton St, Dublin and took an instant shine to the polygon shaped tower topped with a flagpole.I also like the use of brick columns between the windows as a contrast to the white stone used on the rest of the facade.
This website has a great picture of the building from the 1930s and this website reveals a bit more about the building's former life, especially that it was once Nobletts Sweet Shop.
In the recent years the ground floor shop has been a Newsagency and I presume the upper levels have been used as offices.
But I keep getting drawn back to the tower. I wonder how big it is inside and what sort of a view of Dublin it offers.
I didn't even know we have this in here! Great blog - I started to get some interest in Art Deco lately and your photo collection is impressive!
ReplyDeleteI didn't find much deco in Dublin but this tower and the Gas Building are very nice.
