Architectural Dublin / 18th Century / Tailor's Hall

Architect: Unknown
Interior Access By Appointment Only

The only one of the old medieval Guild Halls that still exists in Dublin, the Tailor's Hall is tucked away in Back Lane of High Street. Recent widening of High Street has removed the buildings to the rear of the hall resulting in the hall's increased visibility. Prior to this the hall which is set behind a high wall and ornate gateway was a little known and seen part of old Dublin.
