68/69 Middle Abbey Street
Middle Abbey Street in Dublin is one of the most historically
significant streets in Ireland. It is adjacent to the General Post
Office building in Dublin which was taken over by the Leaders
of the 1916 uprising in Ireland for use as their Dublin Headquarters.
A substantial number of buildings in Middle Abbey Street were
reduced to rubble during this rebellion by cannon and shell fire.
Nr 68/69 Middle Abbey Street was destroyed in a fire
in 2010. This fire started in the Basement and quickly spread throughout
the entire building. Due to the historical significance of this Street
everything within the Building that was not completely destroyed was
salvaged. The front and rear facade of the building, which suffered only
minor damage had to be shored up and retained.
The destroyed portions of the Building were rebuilt using traditional
methods and materials.
