In 1925, Albert Power produced decorative carving for Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin — work on the capitals and pilasters of the building’s façade. Wynn’s Hotel, on Lower Abbey Street, has a particular significance in Irish history as a meeting place associated with the founding of the Irish Volunteers in 1913.
This commission falls within the same prolific mid-1920s period as Power’s work on the Gresham Hotel (1926) and the Lardner and Downes monuments at Glasnevin (1925) — a period in which Power was simultaneously engaged in major commercial architectural decoration and funerary commemorative sculpture.
