A view of the tower of the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne (also known as the North Cathedral) in the Shandon district of Cork in about 1945. The photograph was taken from atop the bell tower of the Anglican Church of St. Anne just a short distance away.
A view of the Mercy Hospital (now Mercy University Hospital) in Cork in 1938. The caption to the photograph notes that the building was ‘once the Mansion House’, a reference to the fact that the oldest part of the hospital was built between 1764 and 1767 and that the original building served as the official residence of the Lord Mayor of Cork until 1842.
