Aldborough House, Portland Row, Dublin, Ireland. Built by Edward Augustus Stratford (1736-1801), 2nd Earl of Aldborough as Dublin's last great house of the eighteenth century. The foundation was laid down in 1792 and, although it bears the date 1796, evidence shows that it was still not fully completed by 1798. It included a Play House, a cold bath and a music room. (The building remains on Portland Row, but as of 2014 is in a substantial state of disrepair.)
