Georgian Reception Rooms
The Georgian reception rooms occupy the first floor—the piano nobile—of 14 Henrietta Street, and represent the house's most formal social spaces. Designed to display the status and refined taste of its inhabitants, they comprise a reception room at the front and a dining room at the rear. What to see here reveals the elegant domestic arrangements of Dublin's 18th-century aristocracy and merchant classes.
Apartments of Housing
The Tenement Flats at 14 Henrietta Street document Dublin's working-class housing history. From 1877, owner Thomas Vance divided the building into seventeen apartments of one, three and four rooms. Typical residents—entire families—occupied a single room, using fabric partitions to create separate kitchen, living and bedroom areas. This intimate museum offers a glimpse into late 19th-century urban tenement life and the cramped conditions endured by Dublin's poorest inhabitants.
Colección Wallpaper
The Wallpaper Collection at 14 Henrietta Street comprises delicate fragments of wallpaper, weathered by time, carefully salvaged during the building's restoration in 2016. These material remnants offer a unique window into the different periods and lives that unfolded within the house's walls. Each piece tells a story of the residents who once inhabited this Georgian townhouse, revealing tastes and fashions spanning generations. What to see here is both intimate and revealing—a tangible connection to Dublin's domestic history through the everyday choices of ordinary people.
