The Provost’s house, a Palladian mansion, was built in 1759 for the purpose of providing a residence for the Provost of
Trinity College Dublin and has continued to provide this function for over 260 years. The current Provost, Dr Linda Doyle is
the 25th Provost to reside in the house for her term of office. Externally the house is similar to that built by Lord Burlington
in London in the 1830s. It is a solid Palladian design with a central Venetian window and Doric pilasters. The house
possesses one of the most elaborately-decorated interiors of its period.
