Henrietta Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henrietta Street (Irish: Sráid Henrietta) is a Dublin street, to the north of Dorset Street, on the north side of the city, first laid out and developed by Luke Gardiner during the 1720s. A very wide street relative to streets in other 18th-century cities, it includes a number of very large red-brick city palaces of Georgian design.

Henrietta Street is the earliest Georgian Street in Dublin – it is the model from which Dublin’s Georgian identity is derived. The street was constructed between 1724 and 1755. There are 13 houses on the street, of which 5 are institutional hands.
