Sugar refinery 111 Pearse Street Dublin.

Alfred Darbyshire's first recorded Irish commission was a sugar refinery in Dublin for Messrs Bewley, Moss & Co. circa 1862. In his autobiography, An Architects's Experiences:(1897), he records consulting Sir William Fairbairn on the structural engineering, and how Fairbairn suggested that wrought iron should be used in the construction rather than the customary cast iron. Darbyshire quotes Fairbairn's assessment of the Bewley's building as 'probably one of the most important yet constructed with arches in wrought iron beams'. New 8‑storey, 130ft high building.  Early rolled‑steel joist structure. Engineering consultant: Sir William Fairbairn. Estimated cost of Bolton's tender, £9,000, but according to Irish Times, 7 Jun 1890, total cost was £67,000. (Premises enlarged and converted into distillery, 1890.)
