    the description of Dr. O’Rorke, ‘is in the form of a square and rises five stories high, one of the storeys being the basement. It is unknown what this mammoth pile cost, but the people of the neighbourhood say that Mr. Cooper before engaging in the undertaking had provided for the cost ‘a tub of gold guineas’ and that the last guinea was paid away before the building showed above the surface of the ground’.
