Ireland developed a strong middle class, especially in the major cities, by the mid-nineteenth century. They were active patrons of department stores. Delany's New Mart was opened in 1853 in Dublin, Ireland. Unlike others, Delany's had not evolved gradually from a smaller shop on site. Thus it could claim to be the first purpose-built Department Store in the world. The word department store had not been invented at that time and thus it was called the "<answer>Monster House</answer>". The store was completely destroyed in the 1916 Easter Rising, but reopened in 1922.
What was Delany's originally called? 
Monster House
