The Yeats House is a strange tourist attraction — restored completely in the late 1990s, it now functions as offices to an interior design firm. You are permitted to visit and have a look around, but you’ll be walking amongst the interior designers who work here — it is best to phone ahead and let them know you are coming. Admission is free.
Yeats lived here from 1922 to 1928, after which time the house went into disrepair. It was almost in ruin by the time renovations began in the late 1990s. The grandiose marble fireplaces and lavish chandeliers are not original to no. 82, but they were sourced from other buildings around Merrion Square. The main room of interest is the drawing room, where Yeats entertained eminent figures from the Irish literary scene, and performed some of his most famous plays.

This house — No.82 — has been brilliantly restored by its current occupants ‘Merrion Property Group’ to what it looked like when the famous Nobel Laureate poet, Senator WB Yeats lived there in the 20’s. You can see his office/​study, the reception rooms etc; the hall as well, if one only sees that, is exquisite, and at the back of the hall, there is a delicious mosaic embroidery, done by Yeat’s sisters, Dolly and Lily. Apart from anything else, it’s great to get inside a Georgian house on Dublin’s most famous Georgian Square, Merrion Square.
