pened in 1864, No.6 Kildare Street has been home to the Royal College of Physician of Ireland for over 150 years and has an unique collection of artefacts and antiques which reflects the rich history of the College.

An extensive and sympathetic restoration project was undertaken, 2003-2006, which updated the building, with audio visual and wi-fi facilities. This project also created two modern rooms on our lower ground floor - the Winter Hall and the Lecture Theatre.

With these additions No. 6 can offer the opulence and grandure of ages past alongside modern lecture facilities.

To the right of the main entrance hall is the Stearne Room, named for Dr John Stearne (1624-1669), the founder of the College. Of note in this room is the carved wooden President’s chair, presented to the College by Thomas Edward Beatty (1800-1872), in 1866, at the end of his term as President. To the left of the window is an engraving of King William and Queen Mary who granted the College the 1692 Charter. 

T H E C H E Y N E R O O M

Originally designed to house the College’s museum of medical specimens, this room now holds two collections of medical books, donated to the College by Dr Thomas Percy Claude Kirkpatrick (1869-1954) and Dr Fleetwood Churchill (1808-1878). 

L E C T U R E T H E A T R E

The Lecture Theatre is a modern, purpose-built auditorium. It features state-of-the-art audiovisual facilities and is an ideal location for lectures, screenings and presentations. Its tiered cinema-style seating can accommodate 60 guests. The Lecture Theatre is named after John Feely (1947-2009), a former Registrar of the College.

T H E G R A V E S H A L L

When the building originally opened in 1864 this was the main hall for holding important College events. It is decorated with beautiful plasterwork, which includes the monogram of Queen Victoria, the reigning monarch at the time of construction.

T H E D U N L I B R A R Y

This room was designed specifically to house the College’s Library. It takes its name from Sir Patrick Dun (1642-1713), who at his death in 1713 donated his personal library to the College. This formed the nucleus for the library’s collections, which today holds approximately 20,000 volumes dating from the 16th to 21st century. With the College’s archive collections it forms one of the most important collections for the study of the history of medicine and medical education in Ireland.

T H E S T O K E S R O O M

The room to the left of the entrance hall is the Stokes Room, named after William Stokes (1804-1878), a former President of the College who introduced the stethoscope to Ireland.In the centre of the Stokes Room

is the Dun’s Hospital table. Made of bog oak this table use to be in the student residence of Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital. In the nineteenth century it became a tradition for student doctors to carve their name into the table. When this table top became full, a new top was provided to allow the practice to continue. The tables contain the names of several hundred Irish doctors, many who became leaders in the profession. 

T H E C O R R I G A N H A L L

The Corrigan Hall was once the racket court for the Kildare Street Club, from whom the College purchased the site in the 1860. Originally leased back to Kildare Street Club in the 1870’s the College extended back to incorporate this room into the main building. Many if the original features were retained, the high ceiling being the most notable. The hall is named for Sir Dominic Corrigan (1802-1880) who was Knighted for his services to medicine. And was the first catholic President of the College.

T H E W I N T E R H A L L

The Winter Hall is a bright, modern room, named after William Winter (1868-1935), a former President of the College. It is a popular choice for lectures and educational courses.
