What is recorded here

Multiple-bay three-storey city hall, built 1932-36, built in a classical style with three limestone ashlar facades, each with breakfront, the main facade having paired Doric columns in antis, full entablature and surmounted by copper domed clock tower. Timber sash windows and panelled hardwood entrance doors. Later hall addition to rear, c. 2001; Quayside location bounded by Albert Quay, Eglinton Street and Anglesea Street, with main entrance on Albert Quay.
One of the last classical stone buildings built on a grand scale in Ireland, the City Hall is one of the city's few monumental classical buildings. Its site on the river is very important to this part of the city, the river gateway to the east. The fact that the building remains entirely in its original use adds to its significance.Designed by Jones & Kelly.
