EspañolDAWSON STREET
(Redirected from Dawson Street, Dublin)
'Dawson Street' is one of the main streets of central Dublin, running parallel to Grafton Street, to which it is connected by Duke Street and Anne Street South. Much of the street is a shopping thoroughfare, including the bookshop Hodges Figgis and a rival branch of Waterstones.
The street was named after the Dawson family, especially Harry Dawson, who laid out Dawson Street as well as the nearby Grafton, Anne, and Harry Streets[1], and Joshua Dawson, who built the Mansion House in 1710.[2]
Molesworth Street links the street to Kildare Street.
Saint Annes' Church is found on the eastern side and the Mansion House near the south end.
The street has a slight slope downwards from its Stephens' Green end to its Trinity end.
