Bringing #Ireland's History to Life. 🇮🇪👁️🔬
My restored and colourised photo of Molesworth Street in #Dublin City featuring the Masonic Hall and the Royal Dublin Society (Leinster House). In 1815 the RDS purchased Leinster House the former residence of the Duke of Leinster.

In my self-funded history project, I am endeavouring to faithfully restore these historical photos by removing blemishes such as tears, scratches, and any other signs of photographic ageing for future generations to enjoy.
