Prints of Charlotte House at the corner of Queen Street and Charlotte Quay (now known as Father Mathew Street and Father Mathew Quay) in Cork. The building is five storeys in height. The gable end is topped with a cross. The building was located on a site on the south-east corner of Queen Street. Fr. Cherubini Mazzini OSFC converted this house into a residence for the friars and Charlotte House, as it was known, remained in use until 1884 when the Capuchins took up residence in the present-day Holy Trinity Friary built by Fr. Simeon Gaudillot OSFC (1836-1910). The print may have been taken from a volume.
