Description
The first time I saw it, I loved the look of the imposing neoclassical Custom House overlooking the waters of the River Liffey in the heart of old Dublin. When it was built in the 18th century during the height of Georgian architecture, it overlooked the port of Dublin. Centuries later, ships have grown so much that the port has long since moved out, as in many old European port cities.
The building was badly damaged during the Irish push for independence for Britain but was rebuilt much as it was before. No longer a building for collecting customs from ships entering the port of Dublin, it houses the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
It's certainly a grand part of Georgian Dublin, isn't it?
