English: The first hospital was opened on Cook Street in 1718 and moved to a larger premises on Inn's Quay facing the River Liffey in 1728. The building seems to have been built originally in 1723 and rebuilt in 1741.
Located at the corner of Arch-lane near the junction with Mass lane (now Chancery Place). A sign on the front indicates "The Poor Box" while another sign denotes the name "Charitable infirmary". The illustration seems to have been included on the advertisement for Handel's Messiah in 1742 and may have been used there having been taken from some other publication. The house next door was owned by Sir Patrick Dun.
It was later moved to 14 Jervis Street, former home of the Earl of Charlemont around 1789 as the site was used to built one of the eastern wings of the new Four Courts. The illustration featured as a plate in the Dublin Magazine in March 1763.
