John Joseph Higginbotham supervised construction as Dublin Corporation’s Surveyor of Places of Public Resort.
“A short chapter in Dublin’s musical history will be commemorated on Wednesday when a plaque marking The Beatles' first, and only, appearance in Ireland is unveiled at Arnotts. The band played two shows at what was then the Adelphi Cinema, Middle Abbey Street, on November 7th, 1963” https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/when-the-beatles-played-dublin-and-sparked-a-riot-at-arnotts-1.3679598
Adelphi One cinema was fantastic theatre – as they had a top quality 70mm projector and great sound system. Original POLTERGEIST was a stunning experience. Sadly 70mm projector was sold in late 1980’s – so films looked “lost” when shown on giant screen.
