If you use this docking station it might interest you to learn that at the corners of Sandwith Street and Fenian Street there replica of the former Archer’s Garage, designed by Arnold Francis Hendy and completed in 1946.
On the June bank holiday weekend, 1999, the art deco, grade 1 listed garage on Fenian Street was illegally demolished by contractors working for the O’Callaghan hotel group. A public outcry followed, and while developer Noel O’Callaghan claimed this was the reason why he reconstructed the Garage, he was in fact ordered by Dublin City Council on threat of a €1,000,000 fine and/or imprisonment. The reconstruction is far from accurate to the original and I was more than a little disappointed having lived close to the original for about seven years.
