Kildare Street Club, Victorian gentlemen's club near Trinity College, Ireland
The L-shaped building features arched windows with slender columns and marble portico along Kildare and Leinster Streets in Dublin.
Founded in 1782 for the Anglo-Irish gentry, the club expanded into a new structure designed by Benjamin Woodward and Thomas Deane in 1860.
The building's exterior displays stone carvings of monkeys playing sports, created by the O'Shea brothers as decorative elements.
The former clubhouse now houses the National Genealogical Museum and Alliance Française, offering 15,500 square feet of office space.
Members once enjoyed exclusive amenities including cricket grounds, billiard rooms, card rooms, and the only location in Ireland serving quality caviar.
