Graduates' Memorial Building
- Graduates' Memorial Building
in 1892. Its construction was largely financed by subscriptions from graduates, and was finished in 1904.
The building is divided into three houses: House 28, House 29 and House 30. Houses 28 and 30 are student residences. House 29, in the centre of the building, is home to three of Trinity College's oldest student societies: the University Philosophical Society (the Phil), the College Historical Society (the Hist) and the College Theological Society (the Theo).
The ground floor houses its Debating Chamber and the conversation room of the Philosophical Society. Halfway between the ground floor and first floor is the Phil's council room, and the large stained glass window dedicated to Lindley, a major subscriber to the GMB's construction, and depicting Epaminondas and Demosthenes, the greatest of all the Greek orators. On the first floor are the Historical Society's conversation and committee rooms. The second floor contains the Bram Stoker room, which is shared by the Philosophical and Theological Societies, and two large snooker rooms. The third floor has a computer room and a library shared by the Phil and the Hist, which contains part of the societies' large collections of books and records.
The Hist Conversation Room was used as a location in the film "Educating Rita". The upper floors of the building were damaged by a fire on Friday 15 December 2000, for a time threatening the societies with bankruptcy.
