Summary
Description The Honourable Society of Kings Inns (455776430).jpg | This was the last great public building designed by James Gandon and was designed to provide study and residence facilities for barristers. As with the Four Courts the building process was plagued with delays. Started in 1795, Gandon resigned from the job in 1808 and handed the project to his pupil Henry Aaron Baker who finished the work in 1816. Like the Fours Courts and the Custom House, the building was designed with its main western façade on a waterfront as the Royal Canal once had a spur and harbour where the park is now. Originally there was also a plan for a crescent to contain barristers chambers but this was never constructed. |
