Impression of Frescati. Like other Georgian piles, Frescati had a very simple design on the outside, in contrast with an elaborate interior
Frescati (sometimes misspelled 'Frascati') was an estate situated in Blackrock, Dublin, between the mountains and the sea. During the eighteenth century, Blackrock found favour with the well-to-do of Ireland and it grew into a fashionable seaside resort. The gentry of smog-ridden Dublin advanced into the area to embrace the sea-air. It was around this period that many marine villas sprung up around Blackrock Maretimo, Carysfort, Lios an Uisce, and Sans Souci to name but a few. Frescati House was built in 1739 for the family of John Hely Hutchinson, the Provost of Trinity College.

The Duchess
In the 1750鎶�, Hely-Hutchinson sold the house to the FitzGeralds, Ireland鎶� largest landowners, who owned land throughout Leinster. Frescati became one of their three principal residences alongside Leinster House in Dublin and Carton House in Co. Kildare. They spent much time in Frescati, especially in the summer. When the Duchess of Leinster, Emily FitzGerald saw Frescati, she is said to have fallen in love with it.
Enlargement and improvement
Unlike Kildare House and Carton, the Fitzgeralds did not commission Frescati House, but their enthusiasm for it was denoted by the fact in the 1760鎶�, they lavishly extended and enhanced it. They are said to have spent ?85,000 (worth many millions of euro today) on the house. It tripled in size and received flanking wings and bay windows to exploit its sea views. It was at this time that the house was given its name, Frescati, a deliberate corruption of the Italian resort of Frascati.
Architecture and landscape
Unlike many other great houses, its exterior was austere and not adorned with pediments or pilasters. For some, this gave it a noble simplicity. For others, it seemed unremarkable and undermined the case for preservation. Its exterior contrasted with a richly ornate and well-proportioned interior. The interior was magnificent, with carved marble chimneypieces, many fine ceilings and plasterwork of a high quality. There was a celebrated book room, a classical stone staircase with medallioned walls and a circular room with a groined ceiling. In the long parlour there was a painted ceiling by Riley, a student of Joshua Reynolds. Frescati boasted its own theatre with Corinthian columns. Jacob Smith, who also worked at Carton and Russborough, landscaped and devised the large formal gardens filled with rare plants and shrubs. The house stood well back from the road on acres of woods and parkland, and a stream passed through its grounds. There was also a small seawater pool in the garden. The gateway stood close to where the entrance to the Blackrock Shopping Centre stands today and its lands stretched back to where Sydney Avenue is located today.
Lord Edward FitzGerald
It was the favourite place of residence of Lord Edward FitzGerald, a prominent commander of the United Irishmen. He was Emily鎶� son and had spent much of his childhood here. Emily was fearful for her children鎶� health, so they spent most of their time in Blackrock and were educated there. Emily was a strong devotee of Jean-Jacques Rousseau鎶� Emile, which preached the importance of practical lessons from the real world rather than rigid book learning. Emily decided that Blackrock would be the perfect place to practice the Rousseau ideals of education on her children. The Duchess, who was no stranger to extravagance, invited Rousseau himself to Frescati to be her children鎶� tutor. He declined, so Emily hired a Scottish tutor instead. The tutor, named William Ogilvie, was told to bring Emile to life in Blackrock. She later shocked and scandalised her family by marrying Ogilvie six weeks after her husband鎶� death. Lord Edward married his wife Pamela in Tournai in December 1792. After spending some time in Hamburg, the couple came to Frescati in 1793. The couple rarely had a permanent home during their time together, due to Lord Edward FitzGerald鎶� involvement with the United Irishmen. Pamela, widely believed to be the illegitimate daughter of Duke of Orleans, seems to have been a mysterious and complicated character. She was described as 鎻簂egant and engaging in the highest degree and of 鎼剈dicious taste in her remarks and curiosities. She never lost confidence in her husband all through the feverish events, which took place one after the other. At the time, Britain was very wary of the wave of events in France. For this...(and so on)
