Born in London in 1742, Gandon was invited to come to Dublin to design a new Custom House, work on which began in 1781. Over the following 20 years or so, he oversaw the building of such major landmarks as the Four Courts (taking over from Thomas Cooley when the latter died), extensions to the Houses of Parliament (now Bank of Ireland), Carlisle (O’Connell) Bridge and the King’s Inn. The latter was completed by his pupil, Henry Aaron Baker. James Gandon died at his home in Lucan, County Dublin on December 24, 1823 and is buried in Drumcondra cemetery. The two 'N' denomination stamps honouring this remarkable architect, consist of distinctive illustrations by Dorothy Smith. These feature details associated with two of the buildings that Gandon worked on in Ireland–the Custom House in Dublin and Carrigglas Manor in County Longford.
