According to Maurice Craig, in his book "James Malton's Views of Dublin", it was built, as the then equivalent of the City Hall, in 1676, to a pattern familiar from the middle ages onwards in many English towwns: an open arcade, surmounted by accommodation such as council-room, court-room and rudimentary offices. It stood to the South of Christ Church Cathedral, in Skinner's Row, later widened as Christ Church Place.
