| Note(s) | This Dublin Corporation housing project was commissioned in the aftermath of the 1913 housing crisis. The scheme comprises 128 dwellings, a mix of flats and single units and was completed in 1921. It was intended to renew a city area which had derelict since the demolition of the Ormond market in 1892. |
