A late 19th century view of the Four Courts reflected in the River Liffey. The building is Ireland's most prominent courts building, located on Inns Quay in Dublin and the principal seat of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court and the Dublin Circuit Court. It was based on the design of Thomas Cooley for the Public Records Office of Ireland, but after his death in 1784, the renowned architect James Gandon was appointed to finish the building. Built between 1786 and 1796, the finishing touches to the arcades and wings were completed in 1802.
