St. George's Church, Dublin, Parish church in north Dublin, Ireland
The church features a 200-foot spire with four ornamented stories and a central projecting portico with four fluted Doric columns on an elevated platform.
Construction began in 1802 under architect Francis Johnston, replacing an earlier chapel dedicated to St. George created by Sir John Eccles.
The building served as the largest parish in the Republic of Ireland during the 1950s, maintaining multiple affiliated churches throughout the region.
The structure underwent transformation into office facilities in 2004 following previous iterations as a theatre and nightclub after its deconsecration.
Civil engineer Robert Mallet developed specialized cast-iron trusses to address structural issues that emerged when the wide roof began to splay.
