A deft interweaving of architectural and social history For
aristocrats and gentry in 18th-century Ireland, the townhouses and
country estates they resided in were carefully constructed to
accommodate their cultivated lifestyles. Based on new research from
Irish national collections and correspondence culled from papers in
private keeping, this publication provides a vivid and engaging
look at the various ways in which families tailored their homes to
their personal needs and preferences. Halls were designed in order
to simultaneously support a variety of activities, including
dining, music, and games, while closed porches allowed visitors to
arrive fully protected from the country's harsh weather. These
grand houses were arranged in accordance with their residents'
daily procedures, demonstrating a distinction between public and
private spaces, and even keeping in mind the roles and arrangements
of the servants in their purposeful layouts. With careful
consideration given to both the practicality of everyday routine
and the occasional special event, this book illustrates how the
lives and residential structures of these aristocrats were
inextricably woven together. Published in association with the Paul
Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
