Living History
With its historic past, the centre’s architecture serves as a magnificent setting for browser’s and shoppers alike.
Powerscourt Centre is a speciality shopping centre set in an elegant Georgian house centrally located just off Grafton Street. Formally, 59 South William Street was home to Richard Wingfield 3rd Viscount Powerscourt (1744-1788) and his wife Lady Amelia, who bought the Townhouse to entertain guests during Parliament season. Back then, the building was a house for parties, and very much lives up to that reputation nowadays!
The townhouse, designed by Robert Mack, took 3 years to complete at a cost of €80,000 and is the third finest Georgian House in Dublin, with the magnificent Leinster House and Charlemont House leading respectively. The Lord and Lady Powerscourt spared no expense in decorating the house and employed well know artists and craftsmen.

DISCOVER IRELAND
“This grand Georgian townhouse was once home to Richard Wingfield, 3rd Viscount Powerscourt, who used the residence primarily as a location for parties in the 18th century. Nowadays, it’s filled with small boutiques and specialty stores that surround what would have been the courtyard—a glass roof allows the sunlight through. Use the South William Street entrance to pass through the fragrant air of the Garden flower shop, before browsing the covetable housewares at Article. Upstairs, you’ll find the Design Centre, for pieces from up-and-coming and established designers. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, take a table at the Pepper Pot Café, whose homemade bagels are the stuff of Dublin legend, as is their roast pear, bacon, and cheddar sandwich. Visit at lunchtime and you might be accompanied by the sound of the resident pianist.”
