Powerscourt House, Dublin, Georgian townhouse in South William Street, Dublin, Ireland
Powerscourt House features high ceilings, large windows, and a central courtyard covered with glass, displaying elements of Palladian architecture throughout its structure.
Built between 1771 and 1774 for Richard Wingfield, the third Viscount Powerscourt, the house served as a residence during parliamentary sessions in Dublin.
The building transformed from an aristocratic residence into a shopping center in 1981, maintaining its Georgian character while hosting numerous Irish designers and artisans.
Located near Grafton Street, the center contains over 40 shops and restaurants, offering antiques, jewelry, fashion items, and artworks across multiple floors.
The structure includes three brown-brick office buildings added to the rear court from 1809 to 1811, when it functioned as the government Stamp Office.
