| Notes: | Original date range for this photograph was between circa 1865-1914. Research by our Flickr Commons users established a date of circa 1890, and definitely before 11 August 1892. They also discovered that this Arcade was built during Plan of Campaign protests (1880s/early 1890s), when protesting tenants paid landlords only what tenants considered fair rent. Arthur Smith-Barry was the main landlord of (Old) Tipperary Town. The tenants he evicted moved to New Tipperary, which was made up of just a few streets and this Arcade. New Tipperary was built from funds raised mainly in Australia and America. In the end, Smith-Barry defeated his former tenants, and this Arcade was demolished at 4 a.m. on Thursday, 11 August 1892. Featured in the National Library of Ireland's "Photo Detectives" exhibition at the National Photographic Archive, Dublin, 2017-2018.
