Within Dublin itself, he designed the Houses of Parliament with Edward Lovett Pearce (Tyrone & Leinster House) and himself, the Rotunda Hospital and Powerscourt House. No. 7 Parnell Square became a well-known landmark in 1888, as Conarchy's Hotel. In 1907 a member of the Conarchy family, who was at the time marrying into the St. George family, renamed it.
The hotel continued to trade during the 20th Century, but tragically fell into ruin in 1979. From this point onwards, it remained roofless for almost a decade. The present owners of the Hotel St George have painstakingly persisted with the restoration of the property. Their efforts have returned to Dublin a fine Georgian house open to the public.
