The main staircase at 80 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin - Barton, Rose (Irish painter, 1865-1929) (My University, 2008)
No. 80 was originally designed by Richard Cassels in 1736. After both houses, numbers 80 and 81, were bought by Benjamin Guinness in 1862, he acted as his own architect and produced the current house. Finished in Portland Stone, the building has a severe appearance. The interior of the building is hugely elaborate and decorative with an incredible staircase and ballroom. Both are lined with alabaster and the staircase has ornate victorian ironwork as well as marble columns and circular roof lights. (ireland.archiseek.com)
