The first volume in a three-part series profiling 20th-century architecture in Dublin covers 1900-40, with a bias towards the final two decades, which witnessed the newly-independent Ireland
and the early Free State and also the international flowering of architectural Modernism. After overview essays, case studies focus on such sites as Fusiliers’ Arch in Saint Stephen’s Green,
the Pearse Street Garda Station (formerly the Central Police Station), the Clontarf Automatic Telephone Exchange on Castle Avenue, Saint George’s and Saint Thomas’ Church on Cathal Brugha
Street, General Post Office reconstructions on O’Connell Street Lower, and Marrowbone Lane flats. A final section contains an outline survey of sites with a map. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
