Dublin Corporation flats from the
1930'sPublic Housing
Local authorities outside Dublin built very little on any large scale and then not in a deco manner. Some of the Irish local authorities were deeply suspicious of "flats" or apartment houses.
In Dublin, where the City Housing Architect H A Simms was attracted by Deco and by Dutch Moderne styles for apartment complexes, some distinguished work was done. These still look good today.
