Ye might start by giving them a call to enquire where past records are held if at all.....would have thought a lot was kept and archived by someone....and poss the Nat Archives Bishop Street....or why not call them on 00353 1407 2300
they will know for sure. Best Luck.

21 Henry Street : Don't know if it's been mentioned before but in the course of my Internet browsing I was interested to discover that the Irish Farm Produce store and restaurant ran by John and Jennie Wyse Power, which was a regular Republican hangout prior to 1916, and where the Proclamation was reputedly signed, is now a health store. Couldn't find a picture of the shop back in the day but
this article is about the plaque on the wall there. Think it might have been a veggie restaurant they ran but at any rate it would have been "wholesome" so think the Wyse-Powers might have approved (even if it's not an Irish business!) of its new occupants.

so when would they have been rebuilt, late 1920s/30s?
actually forget that, it mentions in the article that it was still a restaurant in 1923......Last edited by KatieMorag; 30-11-2017, 09:29 PM.

There must have been a building there long before 1913, as the Powers are living at that address in both the 1901 and 1911 censuses (cencusi? lol) although in 1901 jennie is called Hannah and says she's from Carlow (on wiki it's Wicklow).......why would they rebuilt it in 1913? It seems a bit odd.......

That said it seems that some of the buildings or part of....needed some rebuild like the one at 20 Henry St....now called Boots, right next to No 21....
See here: http://archiseek.com/2012/1916-no-20-henry-st-dublin/
Looks like Mr Beater the builder got lots of work, and made a great job of the rebuild......
Getting back to your original observation....Yes oul JWP would be tickled pink to find a health shop where she lived all those years ago.
This shows the damage done to the right side (Wyse-Power shop side) after the shelling etc....so No21 is just a bit nearer us as we look at the right side of the pic....It's part of the Arnotts complex.
