It was owned and operated by the Eastman Kodak Company as a major camera manufacturing factory since its opening in 1912, peaking at 900 employees in 1925, 3,000 in the 1970s, falling to about 800 before it ceased the plant's operations in 2006.

Kodak House
The Kodak Building is an Art Deco building in the inner suburb of Rathmines in Dublin, Ireland. It was designed by architects Donnelly, Moore and Keatinge in 1930 and was built in 1932. It was originally the warehouse for Kodak Ireland and now houses an advertising agency and other businesses. Design According to the Twentieth Century Society, Kodak's founder George Eastman ran "an image-conscious company" and wanted the Dublin building to disguise the "raw factory" within. Kodak hired Irish firm Donnelly Moore and Keatinge. They designed a structure with horizontal steel windows that were embedded in concrete walls. They accompanied this with "a squat but imposing tower with vertical slit windows as its central feature". William Sedgewick Keatinge made alterations to the design starting in 1949 and later still, Paul Keogh Architects undertook a complete refurbishment of the building. In naming the structure as "building of the month" for August 2019, the Twentieth Century ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
