Living History

With its historic past, the centre’s architecture serves as a magnificent setting for browsers 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 party house, and it very much lives up to that reputation nowadays!
