O'Reillys Public House

This project involved conservation and refurbishment works to the facade and store fronts of an existing Georgian period building located at the corner of Merrion Row and Merrion St. Upper, Dublin 2, which was originally constructed C.1790, During the course of the works we were delighted to discover original signage and decorative elements from a dispensing chemist established in 1800, behind later added timber joinery fabric. Original Vitrolite glass cladding panels and fine brass and chrome work were carefully restored to preserve a fine example of an historic Dublin store front. From Thom's directory, the premises appears to have been used as a wine & spirit merchant and tavern, in some form from the 1820s onwards. The name 'O'Reilly' has been associated with the ownership of the property since 1931.
