The General Post Office

This beautiful neo-Classical building is also the focal point of much of the history of the Irish State. Built in 1808 to the designs of Francis Johnston, it was extensively remodelled in 1905-15 by J. Howard Pentland. Reduced to a shell in the uprising of 1916. Reconstruction was by T.J. Byrne and J. Fairweather and the building was reopened in 1929. There uis much more detail at: Link
