BeschrijvingHenrietta Street Area - Dublin 6005815690.jpg |
Number 14 Henrietta Street Nos. 13, 14 & 15 (south-side), built simultaneously by Luke Gardiner in the early 1740s, and first leased to Nicholas Loftus (from 1766 the Earl of Ely), Richard 3rd Viscount Molesworth (Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland from 1751), and Sir Robert King (Baron Kingsborough from 1748) respectively.
The decay of Dublin was epitomised by Henrietta Street, which had once been home to generations of lawyers, but was, by 1911, overflowing with poverty. An astonishing 835 people lived in 15 houses. At number 10 Henrietta Street, the Sisters of Charity ran a laundry with more than 50 single women inside. The other houses on the street were filled with families. For example, there were members of nineteen different families living in Number 7. Among the 104 people who shared the house were charwomen, domestic servants, labourers, porters, messengers, painters, carpenters, pensioners, a postman, a tailor, and a whole class of schoolchildren. Out the back were a stable and a piggery.
The aspect of the street was initially open to fields to the west, but with the construction of the Kings’ Inns by James Gandon in 1800, (laid out to the annoyance of Lord Mountjoy and fellow residence of Henrietta Street at an oblique angle), the street gained an awkward termination. This led to the building of a granite triumphal archway in 1820 by Francis Johnston to screen the less than attractive juxtaposition. Thirteen of the original fifteen houses of 18th century Henrietta Street remain. The exception is the Kings' Inns Library, built 1825-8 by Frederick Darley on the site of Archbishop Boulter's early 18th century house. The street was popularly referred to as Primate's Hill, as one of the houses was owned by the Archbishop of Armagh, although this house, along with two others, was demolished to make way for the Law Library of King's Inns. The street fell into disrepair during the 19th and 20th centuries, with the houses being used as tenements.
Today, Henrietta Street is isolated as a cultural phenomenon, located, as it is, in an area of streets and houses which has suffered from economic neglect for many years. I live in a modern complex on a lane off the street and for me the neglect in the area is more than depressing. When I purchased my apartment more than 15 years ago the area was not "up-market" but I told that the area would be renewed and upgraded. In reality things have become much worse because of damage done by developers as well as an unacceptable level of 24 hours per day anti-social behaviour. There is a development plan which is interesting to read: <a href="http://www.dublincity.ie/SiteCollectionDocuments/plean_caomhantais_shraid_henrietta_street_conservation_plan.pdf" rel="nofollow">www.dublincity.ie/SiteCollectionDocuments/plean_caomhanta...</a>
“Before the gorgeous Blessington was seen Or dandy D’Orsay graced the splendid scene Herculean chairmen bore the fair To routs and masquerades, and the yellow flare Of the link-boys’ torches burned away the gloom Down Primates’ Hill, to some Palladian room Where the rococo craftsmen set a foil For Gardiner, Clements, Ponsonby and Boyle, Spendthrift inheritors of the mean renown Of archiepiscopal rakes like Stone. Gone are their filigrane splendours: Palladio’s door Unhinged; Tracton Apollo and his stuccodore Alike in turf. In the street today Poverty pullulates and the arts decay. Down the proud steps, from the panelled hall, The children scramble and the babies crawl. Their swarm enjoy the franchise of the street Skilled to avoid postprandial Benchers’ feet And blind to the mellowed majesty of law Pursue their wonted games of hole and taw.” C.P.C. |
