Farmleigh House - Phoenix Park Dublin Ireland
 Photograph of Farmleigh House, located in the North West section of Dublin's Phoenix Park.
Originally Built as a Georgian house in the late 1700's, Farmleigh was bought in 1873 by Edward Guinness, a great grandson of the Guinness brewery founder Arthur Guinness. During the late 1800's the original building was extended with the addition of a third storey, west wing & ballroom, the conservatory was added in 1901. 
The Farmleigh estate covers an area of 78 acres & was sold by the Guinness family to the Irish Government in 1999 for €29 million. The house has since been extensively refurbished & has regular opening hours for public visitors.
