About Cafe Sol
Cafe Sol is one of 824 buildings in St Stephen's Green the National Inventory rates Regional. Its record dates Cafe Sol to 1830–1870. 278 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The building's curved front is beautifully framed by granite quoins and cornice, which together with the red brick, are details and materials which connect the premises with the other buildings making the corner with Merrion Street. This granite framing of the façade creates an interesting tonal and textural contrast.

When was Cafe Sol built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1830–1870.
Is Cafe Sol 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.
