• DU018-538 Barracks
  Description

  Mary Street Barracks   A 19th-century barracks on Mary Street was recorded in 2025 in the ‘Our Shared Built Military Heritage: The online mapping, inventorying and recording of the Army Barracks of Ireland, 1690-1921' a project that was funded by the North South Research Programme 2022-2024 and co-led by University College Dublin and The Open University' (Forbes and McGrath 2025).  The barracks was described in the inventory of the ‘Army Barracks of Ireland - Our Shared Military Heritage, 1690-1921’ as follows; ‘The infantry barracks at Mary Street was a conversion of a house previously owned by Hercules Langford Rowley, an MP in the Irish parliament in the eighteenth century. The property was purchased in 1800 by the government and was occupied by the army from 1801 to 1818. In 1801 the capacity was noted as being for four officers and 380 men, while in 1812-13 it was recorded as ten officers and 348 men. In 1818 it was handed over to the Paving Board. When that body was abolished in 1854 it was sold to the apothecary company, Bewley and Evans. Nothing remains of the building as the entire block was demolished as part of the Jervis Street shopping centre complex'.   Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on description taken from inventory of the ‘Army Barracks of Ireland - Our Shared Military Heritage, 1690-1921   Date of Compilation: 11 November 2025
