The CHQ Building on the banks of the river Liffey in Dublin's Docklands houses a range of quality retail outlets and restaurants (including a Starbuck's - good news for moi!). The building dates from 1820 and was designed by the Scottish Engineer John Rennie. It was originally a wine and tobacco warehouse and was used as a venue to welcome back soldiers from the Crimean war, but later fell into disrepair. But now it has been beautifully restored and although very modern it still retains the beauty of the original John Rennie design.
