| dc.description | 'Original this was known as Hoggen Green deriving its name from the Scandinavian word for mound and the nearby nunnery of Blessed Virgin Mary del Hogges founded in 1156. Nearby was the Thingmote, which was the Viking assembly place. It was renamed College Green after Trinity College in the 1600s.' The Bank of Ireland building depicted on the left of the image was 'the first purpose built Parliament House in the world and was constructed at a great time of public confidence in Dublin. The original building designed by Pearce (outlined in black below), constructed between 1729 and 1739, is only part of the existing structure. This consisted of the central section with its huge colonnades. Pearce was actually knighted in the building on the 10 March 1731. The east and west porticos were added by Gandon between 1785 and 1797 and the curving screen walls were added by Francis Johnston when it was being converted to a bank in 1803.'
