Rooms for all

I would like to introduce you to our wonderful rooms here at the Irish Architectural Archive, 45 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.

This magnificent Georgian house, located in the heart of Dublin’s south city centre, is one of the great Georgian houses of Dublin. Built for the speculative developer Gustavus Hume in the mid 1790s and situated directly across Merrion Square from Leinster House, this is the largest terraced house on the Square and is the centrepiece of its east side. Light-filled, spectacularly-proportioned, interconnected reception rooms on the piano nobile of this Georgian palazzo offer a range of venues and facilities.
