1984.
Merchant’s Arch, Temple Bar dominated by the then Central Bank in all its ugly, sunlight-stealing glory.
Brutal.

The old Central Bank’s a masterpiece! I can’t believe they were allowed to replace the old black roof with the glass rubbish on it now.
Looks like a good place for a hotel…
Don’t be silly…
You could easily fit in a taxi-rank, a pub, a niteclub AND an hotel.
You’re not from Dublin, are you?
