According to Limerick City Placenames (a .pdf document), it's called Baker after Richard Baker, who built the houses on Baker Place.

James Dowd's book "Limerick and its Sieges" credits a cropped version of this image to William Lawrence. Given that the book was published in 1890, this image would seem to date from c.1880 to c.1890.
