The Richmond Hospital, located on North Brunswick Street in Dublin, has a long and fascinating history. It began as a convent in 1688, founded by the Benedictine Nuns. In the 18th century, the site was transformed into a complex of hospitals, including the Hardwicke Fever Hospital (1803), the Richmond Surgical Hospital (1811), and the Whitworth Medical Hospital (1817).
In 1901, the Richmond Surgical Hospital was rebuilt in a grand red brick and terracotta style, designed by the renowned architects Carroll and Batchelor. It quickly became known for its excellent surgical care and its reputation for innovation. The hospital served as a leading medical facility for over 80 years.
In 1987, the Richmond Hospital closed its doors as a hospital. The building was later repurposed as a courthouse, serving as a base for the District Court Service for many years. In 2018, the building was acquired by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) and transformed into the Richmond Education and Event Centre.
Today, the Richmond building stands as a testament to its rich history and architectural significance. It serves as a vibrant hub for education, training, and events, while also preserving its heritage as a former hospital.
