| | Trinity College, Dublin |
 | | The library, it is true, dates from 1712-33, and the printing-house from 1734; but the west front was commenced, by a grant of the House of Commons, in 1752; the dining-hall was rebuilt in 1761, the examination theatre in 1777, and the chapel in 1787-98. |
 | | Over the vestibule is the Common Room, 50 feet long by 30 feet broad, adorned with portraits of distinguished Fellows, including that of the late Provost, Dr. Salmon, and of his earliest predecessor, Adam Loftus, the latter presented to the College by Lord Iveagh in 1891. |
 | | The front of the Provost's House has a granite facade of 200 feet, and is divided from Grafton Street by a courtyard 60 feet in depth enclosed by a granite wall supporting an iron railing. |
