Map of Oriel House, Dublin, Ireland
Oriel House was the address at which a US pneumatic tyre patent was drafted in 1893 'for the wheels of Velocipedes and other Vehicles'. During the Irish Civil War, it became the base for the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Irish Free State's nascent police force. It was used by the Department of Lands in the late 1940s, and Gaeltarra Eireann had its head office there in the 1950s.
