Frescati House (sometimes misspelled 'Frascati') was a Georgian house and estate situated in Blackrock, Dublin. It was built in 1739 for the family of John Hely Hutchinson, the Provost of Trinity College.[2][3][4][5]

The house was acquired in 1970 by the owners of Roches Stores and, after a long campaign to save it, was demolished in 1983 to build the Frascati Shopping Centre.

During the eighteenth century, Blackrock was favoured with the well-to-do of Ireland and grew into a fashionable seaside resort.[citation needed] The gentry of smog-ridden Dublin advanced into the area to embrace the sea air.[citation needed] It was around this period that a number of marine villas were built around Blackrock – including Maretimo, Carysfort, Lios an Uisce, Sans Souci and others.
