DescriptionThomas Badge, a Dublin Society pupil, made a living principally as an engraver, despite having won awards for drawing in 1798 and 1799. In 1798, William Binns, an ironmonger, rebuilt what is now 25 and 26 St. Stephen's Green as a house with a toy and fancy goods shop, at the back of which, in Kildare Street, he erected a tower with 'gazebo' on top. The business ceased in 1816, when the stock and contents of the shop were auctioned. The whole premises, known as the Pantheon Phusitechnikon was later demolished.
