McKee Barracks

McKee Barracks is a military installation near to Phoenix Park in Dublin in Ireland.

History
The barracks, originally named Marlborough Barracks after John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and built as a cavalry barracks to house 862 military horses, were completed in 1888. Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty the barracks were handed over to the forces of the Irish Free State in 1922 and renamed McKee Barracks after Dick McKee, the Irish Republican leader, in 1926. They are now an administrative centre where various Directors of Corps are based as well as the location of the Army Equitation School.
