DescriptionThis view looks from Eccles Street towards St George’s Church, Hardwicke Place. The church was designed in 1802 by the architect Francis Johnston who lived in Eccles Street. Eccles Street is named after Sir John Eccles. Prior to falling into tenements the houses of Mountjoy Square and the surrounding area were home to the wealthy and up and coming middle classes. However, following the Act of Union in 1800 this part of the city went into decline. No. 7 Eccles Street was famously the home of Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of James Joyce’s Ulysses. (JO'D)
