Westmoreland Lock Hospital
The new hospital was founded in 1792, when Westmoreland was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and was located at the corner of present-day Townsend St. and Luke St., where its foundations were excavated in 1998. It later operated under the name of the Hospital of St. Margaret of Cortona.
The 'Lock Hospitals' were developed for the treatment of syphilis following the end of the use of lazar hospitals, as leprosy declined. In the 18th century another Lock Hospital was located in Clarendon St., Dublin.
