Description:
Built in
1818, the General Post Office in O'Connell Street was designed by Francis
Johnston.
In 1916 an Irish republic was proclaimed from the General Post Office by Padraig Pearse and James
Connolly who were leaders of the Easter
Rising.
A fire broke out,
destroying most of the interior and the General Post Office was closed until
it was renovated in 1929. At the front
of the building visitors can still see the shell marks of 1916.
