This walking tour will include viewing and discussing in detail the Old Irish Parliament on College Green, a masterpiece by of Edward Lovett Pearce, later extended by James Gandon. We'll also look at the two most famous creations of the famous Wide Streets Commissioners: nearby Westmoreland Street and D’Olier Street. We will take in some fascinating, usually overlooked details in the surrounding street-scape, that have much to teach us about the WSC and the making of Georgian Dublin. This tour also includes a brief, highly instructive visit inside Pearce’s’ masterpiece, namely the gorgeous, enigmatic former Irish House of Lords.

Meeting Point: Saint Andrew's Post Office (exterior), 19-24 Saint Andrew Street, Dublin 2, Co. Dublin, D02 C966.

Dublin Decoded

About Dublin Decoded runs history and architecture walking tours of Dublin, led by Arran Henderson. Arran is an independent architectural historian, and local historian who has appeared on radio and TV, consulted for several films, and has written many pieces for various papers and journals over the last 25 years. The walking tours touch on many diverse aspects of history and local history, but typically have a strong emphasis on the buildings, including notes on design, on materials, and architects, on the evolving street-plan, and the historic reasons behind such evolution. The walks have been used by many architects, planners and other professions, for unstructured CPD points. Places of learning such as Syracuse University and Liverpool School of Architecture, among others, have arranged field trips around Dublin Decoded walks. Dublin Decoded run both public and private tours. The public tours are noted for their mixture of good fun and accessibility, blended with erudition and insight. Private tours have the same mix and may also additionally be customized when necessary.
