Provenance: Joshua William Allen, 6th Viscount Allen (1791-1845)
Viscount Allen, an Irish peer, succeeded to the titles of 6th Viscount Allen, County Kildare, and 6th Baron Allen of Stillorgan, in 1816. It was said of his house in Merrion Square, Dublin 'That the door was enormous, but so few had ever seen the interior, that it was doubtful if there were any house behind it'
