The Royal City of Dublin Hospital (Template:Langx) was a health facility on Baggot Street, Dublin, Ireland. The building from which the hospital operated, which was vacant as of early 2024, is a protected structure.[1]
History
The hospital was first established by a group of doctors from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland as the Baggot Street Hospital in 1832.[2] In the early years of the hospital, attending consultant surgeons included the anatomist John Houston.[3]
The hospital was extended and the current façade of red brick and terracotta tiles was added, based on the designs of Albert Edward Murray, in 1893.[4] It was renamed the Royal City of Dublin Hospital following a visit by Princess Alexandra in 1900.[5]
After services were transferred to St. James's Hospital, the hospital closed in 1986.[6][7] Although part of the building continued to be used for community services and some clinics, the Health Service Executive (HSE) closed these services in 2019.[8]
While, in 2023, it was proposed that part of the building be used for the provision of primary care services,[9] as of 2024 the building remained vacant.[1] Though, as of April 2024, the HSE was reputedly still considering "using the Haddington Road side of the hospital site as the location for a new primary care centre", the remainder of the property was in poor condition and reportedly unsuitable for refurbishment for healthcare use.[1] At that time, the HSE stated that the property was included on its schedule of vacant properties and "State register for disposal".[1]
