The National Monuments Service's description
Annotated ‘Alms House’ to the south of St Patrick’s Cathedral (DU018-020269-) on a map drawn in 1890 by the Cathedral Architect, Thomas Drew (Drew 1891). This map was based on an earlier map drawn in 1750, known as Kendrick’s map. This small building plot measured 17 feet [6m] east-west by 20 feet [6m] from north to south. Probably levelled when the present St Patrick's Close road was constructed to the S of St Patrick's Cathedral.
