This large historic building on more than one acre was originally built as a home for a Dublin builder by London architect Harold Greenwood in 1930. Now it’s being sold for commercial use.Built of pre-cast concrete blocks with steel windows, it has a flat roof covered with Ruberoid.
It was the classic modern home which was highly unusual for its time, with internal telephones, a fridge, dining and carving tables fitted with electric hot-plates, concealed lighting and fitted furniture.

Former Bank of Ireland headquarters to be faithfully restored by Goodman firm
The former Bank of Ireland headquarters on Lower Baggot Street changed hands for a king’s ransom during the boom, when it was sold to a consortium headed by Derek Quinlan and Paddy Shovlin for €180 million. Then, after the crash, canny meat baron Larry Goodman snapped it up for €50 million.
Fortunately, the man who survived the beef tribunal is fully aware of the the architectural importance of this bronze-clad office complex from the early to mid-1970s. He also bought it knowing that its original façades and external spatial arrangement are listed for preservation.Video in todays Irish Times of the interior
