O'Meara's Irish House, corner of Winetavern Street and Wood Quay. Dublin 1963.
In 1963, O’Meara’s Irish House stood on the corner of Winetavern Street and Wood Quay in Dublin. The building’s facade was a masterpiece of detailed stonework, its roofline distinguished by turrets reminiscent of Irish round towers. The upper story featured elaborate sculptural reliefs, including a reclining figure of Erin with a harp and wolfhound and a large coat of arms over the entrance. On the ground floor, windows advertised Powers and Jameson whiskeys, while three men in period attire stood on the stone-paved sidewalk before the corner pub.
