Twenty Dominick Street, onetime residence of 18th-century master stucco craftsman Robert West, is located on the north side of Dublin. The brick Georgian building rises four stories and extends five bays wide, with external corners reinforced with quoins. A notable feature is an entryway inspired by classical Doric temple façades, complete with pediment, triglyphs, metopes, and Doric columns. The building is considered to be among the finest 18th century townhouses in Dublin. West, who followed in a long family tradition of stucco craftsmen dating back to the 15th century, designed his home, which displayed exuberantly crafted Rococo style decorative stucco ranking among the best in Ireland.
