The residence of the Provost of Trinity College, built in 1760, is one the grandest of Dublin's Georgian mansions. The House was built for and by Francis Andrews, a Member of the House of Commons, and a Doctor of Law. Widely travelled, he spent much of his life as Provost outside of Ireland.

The house in mentioned in Ulysses - as Leopold Bloom passes the Provost's House in the 'Lestrygonians' episode, he thinks of the provost, George Salmon, from which his mind turns to food - in particular tinned salmon. From which he considers that to live in such a confined house would be like living in a tin. "Wouldn't live in it if they paid me."
