Described as 'an exemplar of conservation' in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, No 59 Francis Street is a Georgian gem in the Antiques Quarter of Dublin city. It could be described as the original of the species when it comes to antiquities. Built in 1820, it was formerly owned by antiques dealer Paul Cooke in the 1970s, who opened Cooke Antiques, the first antique shop on the street. Cooke employed some of today's noted antique dealers including Niall Mullen and Chantal O'Sullivan, who went on to have their own businesses here.
