1916 Imperial Hotel Saucer
IE LMOD 689 · Item · Twentieth Century

A white saucer from the Imperial Hotel with the crest and edging in dark green.

The Imperial Hotel was destroyed by shells from the British gunboat Helga during the 1916 Rising. The hotel was built in 1837, and the site is now occupied by part of the Clery’s Department Store building. Jim Larkin was arrested in 1913 after sneaking into the Imperial Hotel in disguise to give a banned speech to workers gathered on O’Connell Street below – a coup against the authorities, and also against William Martin Murphy, leader of the Dublin employers, and one of the hotel’s owners.

1916/1940s St. Stephen's Green Garrison List
IE LMOD 7 · Item · Twentieth Century

Handwritten list of deceased by Senior Surviving Officers of the Garrison filed under headings 'Executed', 'Killed in Action', 'Died from Wounds', and 'Died in After Years' signed by Richard Mac Cormick, Capt. ICA. Includes Madam Markievicz.
Michael Mallin’s garrison of 200 men was camped across the road in the Green during the Rising. (Countess Markiewicz was his second-in-command.) The square was surrounded by high buildings, which made the rebels easy targets for the British forces. Each morning both sides halted fire in order to let the ducks in the Green be fed. Eventually the rebels were forced to retreat to the Royal College of Surgeons on the other side of the Green. The casualties are remembered on this gory souvenir placard from the 1940s; as you can see, Mallin was executed for his part in the Rising.
