  • undressed stone: rough, unfinished stone used in building
  • undressed: unclothed; naked
  • dresser: (French) to raise. In the sentence, as opposed to "upstanded", "undress" evokes ruins, a house in ruins, like the Adam & Eve church in Merchant's Quay, Dublin, built on the former site of the old Adam & Eve tavern .
