St. Michan's Flats on Greek Street hold a piece of Dublin's mid-20th century social housing history. Here's what we know:
Designed in the 1930s: The flats were designed by H. J. Simms, the Dublin Corporation Architect at the time. Minutes from a 1931 meeting suggest they were part of a larger plan for social housing developments .
Early social housing: St. Michan's Flats are believed to be one of the first social housing projects undertaken by Dublin Corporation. This means they played a role in providing much-needed affordable housing in the city.
Building details: The complex consists of three, four-story blocks containing a total of 112 flats.
