History
[edit]
Originally known as Library Street, as it faced the Old library designed by Thomas Burgh.[2] It was likely renamed for Frederick, Prince of Wales and first appears as South Frederick Street on John Rocque's map of Dublin of 1756.[3]
Many of the remaining houses date from the 1750s, though many have been demolished and replaced with office buildings.[2] On the corner of South Frederick Street and Molesworth Street is an office building dating to 1933 designed by Patrick J.F. Munden.[4] Numbers 5-9 are an office block dating from the 1960s.[5]
Two of the houses on the street from circa 1750, numbers 10 and 11, were renovated by the Dublin Civic Trust in the early 1990s as its first project.[6] The properties were originally planned to be demolished by New Ireland Assurance but were donated as part of a planning compliance arrangement.[7]
Notable residents
[edit]- Artist Graham Knuttel lived on the street for 20 years at number 11.[8]
