GPO Dublin Ireland & O'Connell street photographs

Originally constructed between 1814-18, the GPO is located on O'Connell Street - the capital's main thoroughfare. The rooftop statues represent Fidelity, Hibernia & Mercury.
The building was the center of the 1916 Easter Rising. The Irish Declaration of Independence - & Proclamation of the Irish Republic was first announced there by Pádraig Pearse in April 1916. During the insurrection the building was shelled by British artillery & a gunboat on the Liffey, It remained gutted and in a derelict state for several years afterwards.
The GPO building was restored during the 1920's when Ireland became a Free State & secured Independence from Britain in 1922.
