Anglesea Street was named after Arthur Annesley, Earl of Anglesea, who held a substantial parcel of land in the area in the late seventeenth century. It was largely developed by the mid-eighteenth century and appears on John Rocque’s 1756 map of Dublin. A substantial phase of rebuilding in the late nineteenth century was stimulated by the construction of the new stock exchange building on the east side of the street in 1879. This is a substantial brick building characteristic of the period, with extensive use of moulded brick and terracotta detailing. The variety of openings, arranged symmetrically, create a pleasantly balanced facade. Terracotta panels add subtle decorative interest. It occupies a prominent corner site which is emphasised by its form and scale, and makes it a striking contribution on the streetscape.
