Standing on Bereford Place, near the Custom House, the original Liberty Hall used to be a hotel before becoming James Connolly's personal fortress with Dublin. From 1913 through 1916 it was kept under constant armed guard by the ICA, and hence, though it was Dublin Castle's primary adversary, it was probably the safest place in Dublin for rebel activity.

They left the building vacant throughout Easter Week, a fact unknown to the British authorities, who chose the building as the first to be shelled with artillery. It was destroyed in due course, and eventually rebuilt in its current form.
