__NOTOC__ Leeson Street () is a thoroughfare near central Dublin, Ireland. Originally known as Suesey Street, it was renamed in 1728 after the Leesons, a family of local brewers, who branched into property development and subsequently became Earls of Milltown. In 1767 a Magdalen Asylum was established by Lady Arabella Denny in the street for Protestant women. The street is divided into two parts by the Grand Canal: Lower Leeson Street, in Dublin 2 is to the north of the canal, linking to St Stephen's Green, with Upper Leeson Street, in the Dublin 4 region, south of the canal. The main office of the Ombudsman is located on the lower end of the street.〔(About us, Office of the Ombudsman )〕 It is also home to the Catholic University School a prestigious private boys school. In 1990, Caravaggio's lost masterpiece, ''The Taking of Christ'', was recognised in the residence of the Jesuit Communication Centre on Lower Leeson Street. Broadcaster Gerry Ryan lived and died on this street. ==Gallery== File:Leeson Street junction Earlsfort Terrace and Stephens Green.jpg|Lower Leeson Street junction with Earlsfort Terrace and St Stephen's Green File:Lower Leeson Street - geograph.org.uk - 1779491.jpg|Lower Leeson Street File:Lower Leeson Street, Dublin, Ireland.jpg|Bus lane on Lower Leeson Street File:Kiosk in Lower Leeson Street.jpg|Kiosk at junction of Adelaide Road and Lower Leeson Street File:Upper Leeson Street - geograph.org.uk - 1779470.jpg|Upper Leeson Street File:Dublin - Burlington Hotel area - Leeson Street Upper - geograph.org.uk - 1616259.jpg|Upper Leeson Street File:Georgian doorways - geograph.org.uk - 1779477.jpg|Dilapidated Georgian doorways on Upper Leeson Street File:Grand Canal, the lock at Leeson Street Bridge - geograph.org.uk - 862763.jpg|Grand Canal at Leeson Street Bridge 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leeson Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
