G. & T. Crampton Photograph Archive

Abstract: A collection of photographs from the albums of G. & T. Crampton, one of Dublin's best-known construction companies. The photographs were intended as a record of the building projects which the firm undertook rather than a formal archive. They cover a wide range of buildings including commercial buildings, shops, houses, hospitals, and factories. The projects covered by the collection include new builds, renovations, extensions, and restorations. While the firm has undertaken work throughout Ireland, the majority of the photographs are of projects in the Dublin area.

Biographical/historical information
G. & T. Crampton Ltd. is one of Dublin's best-known construction companies, founded by George J. Crampton in 1879. The present name dates to 1905, reflecting the founder's partnership with his nephew Tom Crampton. It became a limited company in 1924. For most of its history, G. & T. Crampton was based in Ballsbridge, where it was responsible for numerous buildings including the former fire station, library, US Embassy, former Jury's hotel and many office blocks. It earned an excellent reputation for quality, with its joinery works being particularly celebrated, and was also known as a 'good' employer. Although long-associated with Dublin, G. & T. Crampton has undertaken work throughout Ireland and overseas, ranging from new builds to extensions, expansions and refurbishments. While its activities have spanned all sectors, including commercial, industrial, residential, education and hospitality, G. & T. Crampton is perhaps most associated in the public mind with its private housing developments. The term 'Crampton-built' is frequently employed by estate agents to signify the high quality of its dwellings at Herbert Park, Booterstown and Clonskeagh. Throughout the twentieth century, the company was also heavily involved in building public housing schemes for Dublin Corporation. At the heart of Dublin's development for over a century, G. & T. Crampton has been responsible for many iconic buildings, including the UCD building at Earlsfort Terrace (now the National Concert Hall), the St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, and the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). The company remains family owned to the present day.
Scope and content
The G. & T. Crampton photographs cover most of the twentieth century and are a record of the building projects which the firm undertook. They were intended as a private record for the firm and they were never an archive in the formal sense of that word. Most of the G. & T. Crampton photographs were taken professionally and the images from the beginning of the twentieth century are particularly good. In most cases, the photographer is unknown. Some pictures were more in category of 'snaps' and this is reflected in the resolution of the images. They cover a wide range of building projects and include commercial buildings, shops, houses, hospitals and factories and most are located in the Dublin region. The images were printed and stuck down into large format photo albums; there is no record of the negatives. The albums were loose leafed and, over the years, pages were removed and replaced out of order. Some pages are missing and it cannot be said to be a complete record. Despite being in excellent condition generally, the photographs have suffered from exposure to light, the effects of the glue used to mount them and the gradual decay of the photographic paper as well as from the mechanical effects of rubbing against their neighbours. They were scanned for the purpose of being included in an analysis of the firm, written by Dr. Ruth McManus, St. Patrick's College Geography Department.
Citation/reference
Information about the collection of photographs was provided by Assoc. Prof. Joseph Brady, UCD School of Geography.

The following sources were also used to research the buildings depicted in the photographs: the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, the Dictionary of Irish Architects, and paddi (planning architecture design database Ireland).
