Meeting houses were the preferred places of worship for Nonconformist Protestant communities, particularly Quakers and Presbyterians, who rejected the formality and liturgical structure of the established Church of Ireland. They tended to be plain, unadorned buildings by design, and that very plainness has meant many of them left little trace in the architectural record, surviving only as annotations on maps or entries in vestry records.

Rocque's map is one of the most valuable documents for understanding Georgian Dublin as it actually existed, rather than as planners imagined it. Surveyed and engraved with unusual care, it captures the city at a moment of significant expansion, when the south side was filling in with streets, laneways, and institutions of all kinds. The presence of a meeting house in this area reflects the relatively diverse religious landscape of eighteenth-century Dublin, where Quaker meeting houses, Presbyterian congregations, and other Dissenting groups maintained a visible, if not always comfortable, presence alongside the dominant Anglican establishment. The precise location and the congregation it served are not recorded in the available sources beyond Rocque's mark on the map.

Because so little is documented about this particular building, a visitor is essentially following a cartographic ghost. Rocque's 1756 map has been digitised and is accessible through several Irish university libraries and historical archives, allowing anyone to locate the approximate area where the meeting house once stood. Whether the building survived into the nineteenth century, was absorbed into another structure, or was simply demolished and replaced is not known. Walking the streets of Dublin's south city with a copy of the Rocque map in hand, overlaying the old street patterns against what remains today, is a reasonable way to orient yourself; the city's historic core retains enough of its eighteenth-century skeleton that the exercise is not entirely abstract.
