1884 – Irish Rail Offices, North Wall Quay, Dublin

In 1861 the London and North Western Railway Company which had been operating a steam packet service across the Irish Sea, moved its Irish terminus from Kingstown (Dun Laoghaoire) to North Wall Quay. In 1883 the company bought the Prince of Wales Hotel, and soon afterwards replaced it with this building, the London and North Western Hotel. It was later known as the British Rail Hotel. With the demise of the ferry services from North Wall, the building was taken over by CIE, and it now contains offices of Irish Rail.
