Anne Street South

The street was developed by Joshua Dawson, who in 1705 acquired land from Henry Temple and Hugh Price.^[2] It, along with Grafton Street, Dawson Street and Harry Street, to which it continues across Grafton Street, was developed on the land.^[3] It was completed in 1723.^[4]

It is named after Anne, the reigning queen of Great Britain and Ireland at the time of its construction.

Primarily commercial, Anne Street South contains a mixture of independent and chain retailers, restaurants and other businesses. It is home to Kehoe's, first licensed in 1803^[5] and considered a notable example of a Victorian-style Dublin pub.^[6] Adjacent to Grafton Street, property on Anne Street became increasingly coveted by retailers in the 1990s.^[7]
