William Wilde spent the final third of his life, from 1855 to 1876, in 1 Merrion Square. During the first half of his occupancy of the house his career blossomed to its fullest; the second decade, on the other hand, was marked by scandal, personal tragedy, and an unhappy professional and social decline. This paper considers the background to the development of Merrion Square, the architectural history of 1 Merrion Square from its building in 1762 to the arrival of the Wildes in 1855, the attractions and possibilities which the house offered for William Wilde, the major architectural expansion of the building which he commissioned in 1859, and aspects of his and his family's life in the house.
从1855年到1876年，威廉·王尔德在梅里恩广场1号度过了他生命的最后三分之一时光。在他入住这所房子的前半期，他的事业达到了顶峰；而在后十年，却充斥着丑闻、个人悲剧以及职业和社会地位的不幸衰落。本文探讨了梅里恩广场的发展背景、1762年建成至1855年王尔德一家入住期间梅里恩广场1号的建筑历史、这所房子为王尔德提供的吸引力和可能性、他于1859年委托进行的该建筑的主要扩建，以及他和家人在这所房子里的生活点滴。
