SALMON, WILLIAM *

'Statuary' and ornament manufacturer, of Dublin. William Salmon first appears inWilson's Dublin Directory in 1779.(1) The business which he had established at 3 Anglesea Street, Dublin, by 1798 survived in the same premises until at least the 1870s, though ownership appears to have passed to a Matthew Rice by the late 1850s. Among the houses supplied with ornaments by Salmon are Downhill (1783),(2) Coollattin (before 1805)(3) and Castle Coole.(4)
