Within twenty-five years of opening, Burke added the adjoining houses, 30 and 31 St. Stephen’s Green and 12 Kildare Street .  This group of houses together with their gardens and outbuildings, stood on the site of what is still today the Main Shelbourne Hotel building.  At the time of Martin Burke ’s death in 1863, the Shelbourne’s position as Dublin’s premier hotel’ was unassailable.     I found an image of the current Shelbourne and it looks the same as the one on this card that was published by the “Fergus O’Connor & Co. Dublin ”.  It is not postmarked but by the dress of the two men in the image, I think that it is a DB c 1910s.  It is in good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear, brightly colored image and reverse The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections. Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible.  Corrections appreciated. If this your card, it will be mailed promptly upon receipt of payment...... Free Shipping WorldWide. Thank you for your interest and I hope that I can help you with your collection.....
