Wednesday 23 February – Planners & Professors: from Adelaide Rd to Hatch St with Dublin Decoded
The tour will explore the South side of the Green; takes in sections of Leeson St Lower and Hatch Street; Adelaide Road and two very famous Dublin terraces: Harcourt and Earlsfort. Along this route we’ll view an extraordinary diversity of building types, including several fascinating churches; a handsome Edwardian hospital; a synagogue with Byzantine flourishes; several superb private houses; several highly significant university, school and college buildings, and of course, Dublin’s only great Regency terrace. Arran will also discuss some of the actors, playwrights, painters and great writers who lived in the area; touch briefly on the epic planning and conservation battles of the late-20th century; and most importantly, see how the legacy of healthcare provision, worship, the law, commerce and higher education all helped shape this remarkable part of Dublin
