Architectural Walking TourSaturday 19th May 10.00am until 11.30am

Dr Susan Galavan, MRIAI, will lead a walking tour examining the architectural form, style and detailing of Northumberland Road, D2. Built over the course of six decades in the 19th century its buildings which vary from tall red-brick terraces to fine semi-detached houses provide an exemplar of the development of Dublin’s Victorian domestic architecture.

Conserving your Dublin Period House: Spring 2018 The Irish Georgian Society and Dublin City Council have assembled a team of conservation experts to present a series of talks on the history and significance of Dublin’s period houses and practical advice on their conservation. Attendance at the talks will greatly benefit owners of all periods and types of houses, from the modest Edwardian artisan dwelling to the substantial red-bricks of the Victorian suburbs and the fine townhouses of our Georgian city squares, providing an ‘A to Z’ for their care and conservation.

Talks, which will commence on Tuesday 13th March 2018 from 1pm to 2pm and continue for 12 weeks, will take place in the Irish Georgian Society’s City Assembly House, 58 South William Street, Dublin 2.

It is possible to attend all, one, or as many of the talks as you wish. The talks are priced at €15, which you may pay for at the door or book in advance for a special reduced price of €125 for all twelve talks. Complementary to the Tuesday talks will be a Saturday morning walking tour, at an additional cost of €15.

The Conserving your Dublin Period House Course is an action of the Dublin City Heritage Plan and fulfils Dublin City Council’s conservation policy to provide architectural advice to homeowners. It is also an action of the Irish Georgian Society’s Conservation Education Programme.

The Conservation Education Programme is supported by Irish Heritage Insurance, Merrion Property Group and Heather and John Picerne.

These talks will also benefit building professionals and practitioners and are approved for CPD by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, Engineers Ireland, the Irish Planning Institute and the Heritage Contractors.

This is European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 recognised initiative.
