It was commissioned as an exchange for the city's merchants and was the first large-scale neo-Classical building in Ireland. Casey describes it as 'an astonishingly ambitious design, it was the harbinger of Dublin's superlative civic architecture of the late eighteenth century.'...The building was occupied by the rebels in the 1916 Rising, following a failed attack on Dublin Castle.(Submitted on July 3, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
