Henrietta Street

Henrietta Street

Henrietta Street is a street located in the north of Dublin, laid out and developed by Luke Gardiner in the 1720s. It was named after Henrietta, the wife of Charles FitzRoy, the 2nd Duke of Grafton, and is among the earliest Georgian streets in Dublin.

Henrietta Street includes the Gardiner Mansion, designed by Richard Cassels for his own use. Construction began on land purchased by the Gardiner family in 1721, and building continued into the 1750s. The street was known as "Primate's Hill" because it once housed a residence belonging to the Archbishop of Armagh. The street fell into disrepair during the 19th and 20th centuries, with large residences converted into tenements, though efforts have been made in recent years to restore it. There are currently 13 houses on the street, which is a cul-de-sac, with the Law Library of the King's Inns facing its western end.

Henrietta Street has been highly favored by film and television companies. Movies such as *The Guard* and *The Wind That Shakes the Barley* were filmed here, presenting the street as elegant and mysterious on screen.
