Needle in a haystack challenge with a reward (from Reddit)

Panda

Ok so this thread on Reddit had me scouring the streets (via streetview)
for a while but I'm not familiar with Dublin so maybe someone here could help.

Heres the house:


Theres been loads of suggestions but heres some defining features you need to check for.

1: The terrace is layed out door window door window where as many terraces are window door door window. So that rules out many streets that i've seen.

2: The windows upstairs are thinner than the downstairs window and are not in line with the door or window

3: The window brick work has an angled feature instead of a 90 degree corner again something that rules out a lot of terraces.

4: Small front garden with low wall and Iron railing.(but that may be gone)

5: There is a vent betweent the downstairs window and the neighbours door and possibly another between the upstairs window and the neighbours upstairs window.


Also the OP on reddit was offering €150 into someones paypal if it could be found. He did already pay out some money to a person who helped find some family records so i think its legit.

Theres no guarantee that the house or terrace still exists, according to the OP the photo is from around 1900 - 1920.

Looks like a few of the houses on Chruch Street to me.

Church St is window window door door set up.

Gloomtastic!

Don't know why, but it has the look of Fairview to me!

Looks like the buildings on the east side of New Row South which ties in with the census records mentioned in the reddit thread for Merchants Quay. Same number of bricks on above door detail and same window offsets. Eaves detail is not the same as the west side of the street.

Some of the houses (or one at least) would fit the door window door in the original photo, but the layout of the gardens (with the bricks) are different. Might have changed though.
