The Mansion House: A Mark of Dublin's History

Located in the heart of Dublin, The Mansion House serves as a reminder of the city's rich political heritage.

Constructed in 1710 by Joshua Dawson, it became the official residence of Dublin's mayor in 1715. Historically, it was the site of key events including the 1919 Declaration of Independence and the inaugural meeting of the first Irish parliament. Notably, the building features a Victorian-era stucco facade that obscures the original brick Queen Anne style.
