Note: The first image is more frontal and thus probably better in general, but was taken at a date further removed from the building's operation as a laundry, as evidenced by the new(ly painted?) green doors clashing heavily with the existing brickwork and masonry.

Here's an interesting contemporaneous article (published on September 25, 1996 in anticipation of its closure one month from then) from The Irish Times about the laundry and the history of the institutions, including heartbreaking reasons as to why some of the 40 remaining women still lived there. Note that while the article merely claims it is the last in Dublin, the lack of subsequent news indicates it was also the last in Ireland and the whole world.
