St Stephen's Green laid out as residential square by Dublin Corporation in 1664. Largely built during the first half of the C18. No. 17 built 1776-79 by Gustavus Hume for Joseph Leeson, 1st Earl of Milltown. Decorated by the Dublin stuccodore Michael Stapleton: drawings for the interiors form part of the Stapleton Collection at the National Library of Ireland.

Designed in 1740 by Richard Castle for Marcus Beresford, Viscount Tyrone. Plasterwork attributed to Paolo Lafranchini, based on similar work of 1730s and professional association with Castle.

Built c1756 for the Rev. Cutts Harman, Dean of Waterford. Now the St Stephen's Green Club. The decorative plasterwork is attributed to Paolo Lafranchini, given its similarity to comparable work executed by him at Castletown, Co. Kildare in 1759. The design of the townhouse tallies with a drawing by the C18 architect Joseph Jarratt. Originally a separate interconnecting salon and ante-room.

The residence of Luke Gardiner, the house dates to the late 1720s. Sir Edward Lovett Pearce credited with some assistance in design. Originally of four-bays wide (at right), the house was enlarged and re-modelled on numerous occasions beginning c1755. Ceiling of the former saloon, added c1755 by Charles Gardiner.

No. 85 St Stephen's Green now forms part of Newman House (together with No. 86 St Stephen's Green). It was built for Captain Hugh Montgomery from 1738. The decorative plasterwork is attributed to Paolo and Filippo Lafranchini. The iconography of the saloon ceiling has been interpreted as an allegory of justice and jurisprudence.

Built c1756 for the Rev. Cutts Harman, Dean of Waterford. Now the St Stephen's Green Club. The decorative plasterwork is attributed to Paolo Lafranchini, given its similarity to comparable work executed by him at Castletown, Co. Kildare in 1759. The iconography of the figurative centrepiece of this ceiling has been identified as Fortitude with a helmet, shield, sword and cannon (derived from an engraving of Simon Vouet's painted decorations in the Salon de Mars at Versailles).
