alternate_name, other_name.Temple Street (Irish: Sráid Temple) is a Georgian street in Dublin, Ireland laid out from the 1770s by Luke Gardiner, 1st Viscount Mountjoy.
The street is dominated by the spire of Francis Johnston's St. George's Church at Hardwicke Place which terminates a vista down Hardwicke Street, Temple Street and Eccles Street at their confluence with the church at Hardwicke Place.
Temple Street is split into Temple Street Upper and Temple Street Lower. Temple Street Lower is more commonly referred to as Hill Street owing to its topography and its name was officially changed in 1887 by Dublin Corporation following a petition by the residents of Temple Street owing to the lower section of the street becoming an area of ill repute.
The street connects with Parnell Street at its southern end and joins the crescent of Hardwicke Place at its northern end. The street is sometimes referred to as Temple Street North to differentiate it from Temple Lane in Temple Bar and Temple Street West in Dublin 7.
