Colour picture of the destruction of Fitzwilliam Street dated 1967 when the ESB were building on the street.
Michael Byrne’s painting of ‘Derelict Dublin’ shows the destruction of Fitzwilliam Street in 1967, as the ESB knocked down several houses to build a new headquarters. Until then it had been the longest uninterrupted stretch of Georgian architecture in the world.
