Dublin - King's Hospital

0.5mi/800m west of Whiskey Corner, in Blackhall Place, we come to King's Hospital, also known as the Bluecoat School. The School was founded in 1669, but the present handsome building (by Thomas Ivory) dates only from the last quarter of the 18th C.; the dome was added in 1894. The interior has fine stucco work and carving. This is the headquarters of the Incorporated Law Society.
