1. The Mercy Hospital, Henry Street, Cork City, Cork (Buildings of Ireland).
Built in the latter part of the eighteenth century, this former mansion house was designed by architect Davis Duckart, and it is a significant contributor to the architectural heritage of the city. This former house is representative of architectural design and construction at that time, and is enhanced by the retention of notable features and materials, such as the various window openings, ashlar limestone dressings, and some interior features. The interior plasterwork by Patrick Osborne of Waterford adds artistic interest to this fine building.(Submitted on June 1, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
