A late 19th century photograph of St. Catherine's Church, on Thomas Street, in Dublin, Ireland, was originally built in 1185. It was rebuilt in the Palladian style in the 18th century by John Smyth (or Smith), originally a spire was intended, but it wasn't completed due to lack of funds. In 1803 the church was the site of Robert Emmet's execution, an Irish Republican, orator and rebel leader he sought to organise a renewed attempt to overthrow the British Crown and Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland, following the suppression of the United Irish uprising in 1798.
