I love a photograph with a lived-in face and this is just perfect! Joseph may be the older brother of Stanley for all I know but he has a great face for a portrait. Who was he and why was he considered to be an Irish Personality?

He has a very architectural face.

He didn't just frequent the Abbey, he seems to have built it (or at any rate converted it from a previous theater). www.dia.ie/architects/view/2632#tab_works blog.oldabbeytheatre.net/archives/13

He lived at 21 Northumberland Road, Ballsbridge for 60 years - goo.gl/maps/tnhqumzwbcYaannj6 - according to an interesting 2004 letter in the Irish TImes - www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/remembering-joseph-hol... Edit - Just realized this terrace is directly behind the camera in this recent tram photo. Coincidence? [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/49431500551/]

Converted the Mechanics Institute, a gift from Annie Horniman, whom we came across before in the Lennox Robinson photo, into the original Abbey Theatre in Abbey St., per the 25-inch, which shows both the theatre and the Institute still beside it. It must have been converted from another premises, perhaps the old Hibernian Theatre?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] Indeed, here he is in Northumberland Road in the 1911 census aged 48, single, occupation Architect, with his mother and niece.

From that DIA bio linked by https://www.flickr.com/photos/8468254@N02, a description of him in his 80s: His carelessly parted white hair looks like a sheepdog's. The cheeks with some rose in the parchment, are sagging a bit, the blue eyes underneath bushy eyebrows still steady, the white moustache curly. He wears an old-fashioned pince-nez, and has a mannerism of looking up at you sideways as he ?grasps the back of his chair.

A face only a mother could love.

Paul O'Farrell has posted a comment on this https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/5866020082 that changes the scene somewhat. Take a look and see?

According to The Peeler's Notebook by Barry Kennerk, the Abbey was partially Dublin's first city morgue, and was later converted for theatre purposes.
