Parliament House in Dublin, Ireland, was home to the Parliament of Ireland, and later housed the Bank of Ireland. It is located at College Green. Construction started in 1729. The building was home to the two Houses of Parliament, serving as the seat of both chambers (the Lords and Commons) of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland for most of the 18th century until that parliament was abolished by the Act of Union of 1800. The building was designed by Edward Lovett Pearce and was later expanded by James Gandon and Robert Parke. (wikipedia.org)
