About Dynamo
The National Inventory rates Dynamo Regional, one of 450 in O'Connell Street. Its record dates Dynamo to 1790–1810. 152 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Ormond Quay was constructed in the late seventeenth century, the first of the wide quays on the north side of the river. A number of noteworthy persons resided on the quay, including Sir Humphrey Jervis, who reclaimed the land from the estuary of the River Bradogue, c.1675, and subsequently erected the Ormond Market.

Questions about Dynamo
Is Dynamo on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50070291).
Can you visit Dynamo?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Dynamo built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1790–1810.
Is Dynamo protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
