WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Dublin "The Bank" Restaurant

At last we have arrived at The Bank Restaurant in Dublin and these shots are to fit in with the reflection meme.  I am showing you only images of the interior that ALL have reflections in them.  You see me upstairs in the first shot taking the photographs and all the walls on either side are mirrored.  
Hope you can work it out!

This site has been occupied since Viking times, as it is located in the oldest region of the city in close proximity to the viking Parliament or Thingmount. In the 17th and 18th centuries the area grew to even greater importance following the construction of Trinity College and later the Irish House of Parliament (Grattan’s Parliament) across the way on College Green. CLICK HERE to see those photographs.

Remember you are looking into a mirror.

In July 2nd of 1892 the Belfast Bank acquired this property from the British Mutual. The construction project that followed – a symbol of grandiose Victorian splendour – took two years to complete, costing in excess of £8,000.

The exterior is Franco-Scottish in inspiration and is unique in that it is one of Dublin’s rare examples of Scottish sandstone. The interior, which was once the main banking hall, is a stunning example of merchant power and patronage displaying an extraordinary ornate setting, stained glass ceiling, mosaic tiled floors and spectacular hand carved plasterwork and cornicing.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the interior of The Bank. 

The next time I am lunching there I will take more photographs of the more interesting and historical aspects of the building.
