The Powerscourt Arms Hotel then and now (2008). The Hotel has had a few names over its long history, but has been the Powerscourt Arms since at least the turn of the century. In the 19th century, I think it was also called the Leicester Arms (one of the Lord Powerscourt's married the Duke/Lord Leicester's daughter) and on an undated map it is marked as Miller's Hotel (there was a mill nearby that was a ruin by the middle of the century).
