Government Buildings, Department of the Taoiseach. Dublin 1963. View from the roof of The Shelbourne Hotel.

From the roof of The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, 1963, a high-angle view captures the Government Buildings, home to the Department of the Taoiseach. The composition centers on the weathered, metal-paneled dome atop its stone clock tower, where an ornate clock face reads approximately ten past ten. Beyond the classical architecture, the city sprawls towards a harbor filled with industrial cranes under a hazy, overcast sky. An American flag flies on a pole to the right of the dome.
