R. M. (Rudolph Maximilian) Butler (1872-1943) was editor of The Irish Builder from 1899 and a commentator on architecture in Ireland for the next thirty years. Butler was a leading church architect. He also won the competition to design the University College Dublin (now National Concert Hall) building on Earlsfort Terrace and was head of architecture in the college from 1924 to 1943. Another building in the Dublin area designed by Butler is the former Gorevans Department Store.
