_Old Royal Irish Academy House, Grafton Street._--This interesting building
is now some two months abandoned, and bills on the windows announcing it
"to be let, or the interest in the lease to be sold," I wish to ask through
"N. & Q." if any person intends to make a drawing or other memoranda of the
house, ere it undergoes a thorough alteration, as it certainly will, if
taken for commercial purposes. I am not aware of any sketch of the house,
except one in the fourth volume of the _Dublin Penny Journal_, p. 129.; but
I do not think that this, or its accompanying description, are well suited
to the character of the institution.
