Note
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. This slide shows a detail from the saloon ceiling prior to the conservation and restoration project undertaken in 1989-93.
Note
The decorative plasterwork is attributed to Paolo and Filippo Lafranchini. Source material for the design of the figurative components are largely derived from engravings after paintings by the C17 French artist Simon Vouet.
