Kildare Street

Kildare Street

Kildare Street ("Sráid Chill Dara" in Irish) is a well known street in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland close to the principal shopping area of Grafton Street and Dawson Street, to which it is joined by Molesworth Street. Some Irish government departments have their offices on this street but it is most famous for Leinster House, built by Richard Cassels in 1745, the current seat of the Irish parliament. The "Archaeology and History" section of the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland are located on either side of the Leinster House and were built in 1885.

Trinity College lies at the north end of the street while St. Stephen's Green is at the southern end, with the well-known "Shelbourne Hotel" on the eastern corner. The Dublin offices of Alliance française are located at 1 Kildare Street.
