This tour will take in late-Georgian Lower Leeson Street, developed by the LeesonMilltown family, as well as Adelaide Road and Earlsfort Terrace, with at least two
enjoyable diversions: one up Hatch Street and another up-and-down the short, but very
beautiful, Harcourt Terrace. Along our route we will explore the unexpected history of
this area, stop to appreciate two of Ireland’s most beautiful student residences, recall
some conservation battles of the 1960s to 1990s, enjoy some eccentric social and literary
history, and celebrate Dublin’s only true, centrally-planned Regency Terrace.
11:15am, outside Newman House, on Saint Stephen’s Green SOUTH.
