Dublin City Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Market — Attraction in Dublin

Some columns were replaced (due to corrosion) by replica columns. It is naturally lit internally by its roof glazing frames with polished wired glazing. Externally it has carved stone cornices, arcaded red brick walls with square panels of foliated glazed ceramic with a floral display on spandrels. Arches are formed in red & yellow brick with blind arches containing brick panels below. There is moulded terracotta corbels with various depictions of fish, fruit & vegetables above granite pilasters. On every second blind arcade, sculptured heads exist over each. Wrought-iron ventilation grilles exist at structural openings with some grilles on panelled hardwood doors and to arched opes above them. Brick formed portholes exist with grilles. Carved limestone temple with paired pilasters and pediment exists towards Marys Lane. Two sculpted stone figures with a city crest exists. On some elevations carved limestone Corinthian columns occurs, supporting an entablature & cornices. Hopefully the building restoration and reopening of the market in 2025 will end up like Cork's vibrant English Market which attracts many overseas tourists. When it reopens, l consider...
