Square-headed window openings having moulded render architraves, cornices over first and second floors, continuous masonry sill to fourth floor, panelled corbels to first, second and third floor sills, masonry sills and six-over-six pane and six-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows. Blind openings to west elevation. Shopfront comprising ashlar limestone panelled pilasters supporting fascia and carved cornice, round- and segmental-headed display window openings with keystones over ashlar limestone panelled risers. Square-headed door opening to recessed porch, with half-glazed timber panelled door. Located to north side of Dame Street at intersection with Crow Street.

Dame Street derives its name from a dam that powered a mill on the River Poddle. It was one of the principal streets of the city by the eighteenth century, leading from the Parliament House (now Bank of Ireland) to the Castle. The street was widened and remodelled by Samuel Sproule and Charles Tarrant of the Wide Street Commissioners in the late eighteenth century. Individual landowners were responsible for constructing new houses, while the Commission financed the additions of cut stone embellishments. With the introduction of commercial buildings and financial institutions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many buildings were rebuilt or remodelled. This pair was built in 1908 for the Hibernian Fire & General Insurance Company to the designs of Joseph Holloway with later alterations by Thomas Joseph Cullen. The composition is well-proportioned with an arcaded shopfront of ashlar limestone, the work of a skilled artisan.
