Your Tenement Memories

We invite people to share their stories of Dublin’s tenements.

14 Henrietta Street stands in the heart of the city and has witnessed 300 years of social change. By 1911, during its tenement era, more than 100 people were living in the building, and a further 850 people lived on the street.

The stories and memories of the many families that lived in tenement buildings across Dublin are a powerful account of history.

Your Tenement Memories is a series of ongoing conversations with people across the city that gathers memories of tenement life in Dublin for 14 Henrietta Street.

By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum’s collection and visitor experience.

If you, or someone you know, would be interested in telling your story, please contact us to arrange a chat with a member of our team at memories@14henriettastreet.ie or call us on 01 524 0383.
