Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720 - 1940

Architect, of Dublin, active in the 1890s. Samuel Reddy, a captain in the 3rd Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment and a Justice of the Peace for the city of Dublin, served a three year pupillage with JOHN LOFTUS ROBINSON JOHN LOFTUS ROBINSON (1) and was elected a member of the RIAI in August 1894.(2)  He appears to have died in 1898 as only a Mrs Reddy is listed in his house in Waterloo Road in the Post Office Directory for 1899, while he disappears from the membership lists of the RIAI in 1900. No works are recorded in the Irish Builder.  A 'Mr Reddy', possibly related, was a clerk in the architect's department of the Office of Public Works in 1913.(3)
