St. George's Church, Dublin, Parish church in north Dublin, Ireland
Description
St. George's Church in Dublin is a church building located in north Dublin, designed with classical architectural features including a tall spire. The structure displays a central portico with four fluted Doric columns set on an elevated platform and now operates as office space.
History
Construction of the church began in 1802 under architect Francis Johnston, who designed it to replace an earlier chapel dedicated by Sir John Eccles. The building reflected the architectural ambitions of early 19th-century Dublin development.
Culture
The church once served as a gathering place for the local community and drew people from across the area. Today it stands as a reminder of the religious life that once centered around this neighborhood.
Practical
The building is now used as office space and is not always open to the public. Visitors should check in advance whether access is possible, as opening times can vary depending on business schedules.

Engineer Robert Mallet designed specialized cast-iron trusses to fix problems that arose when the wide roof began to sag. This solution represented an early use of metal engineering techniques in church construction.
