The pyramid shaped Met Office building in Glasnevin in Dublin has been recommended for protection.
1,720 structures of architectural heritage interest across the capital have got the backing of the Housing Minister to be added to Dublin city's Record of Protected Structures.
The Cadbury's factory in Coolock, a row of Art Deco houses in Raheny and concrete shelters on Clontarf's promenade are also on the list.

The recommendations, covering the north city suburbs between the Royal Canal and the border with Fingal, are the latest to issue from the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) Survey of Dublin City.
1,668 structures have been rated by the NIAH as of Regional Importance, 50 of National importance and 2 of International importance.
Minister Darragh O'Brien said; "I am very much aware that there is a growing appreciation for modern architecture and, indeed, an appetite for its protection. I encourage the elected members of Dublin City Council to look favourably on the recommendations I am making today to ensure that our unique architectural heritage, whether it is a gem of the long distant past or of more recent construction, is protected for the benefit of our citizens, both today and for generations to come".
