| Summary: | Receipt issued by St. Mark's Ophthalmic Hospital and Dispensary for treatment of accidents and diseases of the eye and ear at Lincoln-Place, Dublin, 1883. First lines read: "Received this 20th day of March 1883 from Rev. William Story for Account of the Governors of the above institution, the Sum of five Pounds, - [no] shillings sterling, being the amount of his kind contribution in aid of the funds of this Charity, for the current year. For which I Promise to be accountable...", signed offf on by the Treasurer. The 1897 Dublin Eye and Ear Hospital Act established the hospital by amalgamating the National Eye Hospital (founded in 1814 by Isaac Ryall) and St. Mark' s Ophthalmic Hospital for Diseases of the Eye and Ear (founded by Sir William Wilde in 1844). Along with the decision to merge the hospitals, the law provided for expansion. In 1899 a site was purchased on Adelaide Road, where the current hospital was constructed. On 18 February 1904, all patients were transferred from the National Eye Hospital and St. Mark' s Hospital. |
