Fitzwilton House was a brutalist concrete and steel office block in Dublin, Ireland completed in 1969 and demolished in October 2018.[2][3][4][5]
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.[6]
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.[7]
