The Custom House, 'the glory of Dublin', is one of the finest buildings of Georgian Ireland. Designed by James Gandon and completed in 1791, it now houses the Department of the Environment and is flanked by the dramatic complex of the International Financial Services Centre.
In this book Jane Meredith takes us on a tour of the Custom House and its environs, the Dublin quays, as seen by painters, designers and photographers over the past two hundred years.
