By any chance would there be a record of what the address No 17 Lower Mount street was in apprx 1955.
I am aware that the majority of these houses are now used as Business premise's/Offices etc,but I suspect back in 1955 they may have been residential.

Have you tried Thoms Directories in Pearse St Library.

I believe it may have been a home of some sort run by a religious order..Up to a few years ago I think there was a building not far from O'Dwyers pub that was some sort of Girls Home, that MAY have been at that address though im not 100% sure.
