Hawkins House, Office building in Dublin, Ireland.
The 12-story concrete and glass structure stands at the intersection of Poolbeg Street and Hawkins Street in central Dublin, reaching 41 meters in height.
The building was constructed between 1962 and 1964 by English architect Sir Thomas Bennett on the former location of the Theatre Royal.
The Department of Health headquarters represented the modernist architectural movement of the 1960s with its distinct curtain walls and concrete slab facades.
The structure remained functional until 2020, when preparations began for its replacement with a new 10-story office complex featuring retail spaces.
Dublin residents voted this government building as the least attractive structure in the city during a 1998 public survey.
