Fitzwilliam Square
Georgian garden square whose locked central park has been off-limits to the public for over two centuries.
This guide to Fitzwilliam Square in Dublin follows a man who walked out of a New York apartment in 1908 and never returned, leaving a wife and daughter to wonder what became of him, while his mother kept house at number twenty-seven on this locked Georgian garden square. You'll hear how he resurfaced on the other side of the world under a new name and a new career, and about the square itself, sealed off from the public by an Act of Parliament in 1813 and still guarded by its key-holding residents. The guide traces what his family back in Dublin never knew about the life he built in his place.
