Formerly Kingsbridge Station and another of Dublin's four railway termini, Heuston Station was commissioned in 1846 from Sancton Wood, an English architect. Easily the most impressive of Dublin's stations, Heuston is based on the design of an Italian palazzo. A central block of nine bays is used to mask the train shed designed by Sir John McNeill. This block has projecting corinthian columns, balustrades and an attic storey - all decorated with carved swags and urns. To either side of this main block are domed campaniles. To the south is the main entrance block built along the side of the trainshed.
