Anyone know anything about this building? Not much about it online, but it was built to house the lions, opened in 1902, and was no longer in use by the 1960s. Now fully refurbished. Not an ABW memorial, seemingly to Lord Roberts only.

...."The Queen has subscribed £25 to the memorial to Lord Roberts at Dublin, which is to take the form of a new lion house at the Dublin Zoo."
Portsmouth Evening News, Tuesday 22nd May 1900

The Roberts House in 1902.
