About St. Laurence O'Toole

St. Laurence O'Toole was built between 1844 and 1850 in the Gothic Revival style. It has a cruciform plan. Notable features include a four-stage tower with a broach spire, stained-glass windows, a marble altar and window tracery. It was designed by John B. Keane.

History

The church was begun in 1844 by John B. Keane and completed in 1858 by John Bourke. It was constructed to serve the growing community of dockworkers housed in brown brick cottages. The site at the intersection of Seville Place and Spencer Dock was donated in the mid nineteenth century. The spire was apparently the last landmark visible to emigrants leaving from the North Wall.
