Fitzwilton House

Fitzwilton House was a brutalist concrete and steel office block in Dublin, Ireland completed in 1969 and demolished in October 2018.

The block was developed by Basil Goulding and for many years housed the Embassy of Australia, Dublin as well as a number of businesses run or owned by Goulding.

The building included a number of commissioned works by notable Irish and British artists including Robert Ballagh, Barrie Cooke, Anne Madden and Michael Farrell, some of which have since been transferred to the Trinity College Dublin Art Collection.

History
Planning permission for the building was received in 1964, just 3 weeks before the new planning laws were brought into force. The structure replaced 6 classical style houses which faced on to the Grand Canal and Wilton Terrace and sat adjacent to the grounds of Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club while overlooking the triangular Wilton Square park.

The office was constructed for Fitzwilton Securities, a company mainly owned by Tony O'Reilly via its takeover of W. & H. M. Goulding.

In 1982, the building was acquired by IPUT.

A new office developed by IPUT real estate and designed by Henry J Lyons named One Wilton Park replaced Fitzwilton House in 2022. As of 2023 this building houses some of the Irish offices of LinkedIn.
