The exterior of St. Bonaventure's Capuchin Hostel, Victoria Cross, Cork. Construction work on the near-complete Cork County Hall on Carrigrohane Road is visible in the background. Completed in 1968 and designed by Cork county architect, Patrick McSweeney, the 16-storey building was some 64.3 metres high, and supplanted Dublin’s Liberty Hall as the country’s tallest building. It has since been superseded as the Republic’s tallest structure by the 17-storey (68 metre) high Elysian building also located in Cork.
An image captioned 'Dominion Monarch / 1947'. The photograph shows a line-crossing ceremony on the ship, an initiation rite that commemorates a person's first crossing of the Equator. Built in England between 1937 and 1939, the 'Dominion Monarch' was a passenger liner which regularly operated services between Britain and ports in the southern hemisphere (particularly in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand).
