Old B&W Photos Of Dublin - Part 1

[quinner]

old buildings are not usually suitable for modern use..(computor flooring, fire regulations etc)....is it wise to stop devopers from knocking them down and building suitable structure in their place.......?????

can the new building not be enjoyed by the new generations, just as we enjoyed the old....

Facade retention answers the problem, when you can put what you like behind it.

only in certain cases to be economical........with a 300mm computor floor and false ceilings to house sprinkler/lighting/heating etc.....

there is no romm between a lot of old floor levels......of course there should be so that can be saved....but not for general usage.....

motor roomless lifts give them a certain advantage to keep below height regulations....but does not solve all the needed sq. floor area......the developer must be able to make a profit.....otherwise no developers....

blending in is a better solution......but, there has to be leeway.....the council should make a photo record of such demolition sites that have no choice.....

That photo was taken in a Summerhill backyard about 1965. The kid on the extreme right is Albert Moran who lived next door to us in the 60s. As far as I know Albert still lives in the area.
