Aldborough House, Georgian mansion in Dublin, Ireland
Standing on Portland Row, Aldborough House features tall rectangular proportions with granite facade and red brick walls on its remaining sides.
The construction of Aldborough House began in 1796 under Edward Stratford, the second Earl of Aldborough, becoming one of the last major Georgian mansions in Dublin.
The building contained Ireland's earliest purpose-built private theatre, establishing its position in the nation's performing arts development during the late 18th century.
Recent planning permissions allow for the conversion of this protected structure into an office complex, despite its current vacant state and need for restoration.
After the Earl's death, the mansion transformed into multiple institutions, including a Feinaglian school, military barracks, and a branch of the General Post Office.
