[7] By 1877, a landlord called Thomas Vance had removed its grand staircase and divided it into 17 tenement flats of one, three and four rooms.

[6] An advert in The Irish Times from 1877 read: "To be let to respectable families in a large house, Northside, recently papered, painted and filled up with every modern sanitary improvement, gas and wc on landings, Vartry Water, drying yard and a range with oven for each tenant; a large coachhouse, or workshop with apartments, to be let at the rere.

[11] At the end of the 1970s, there were not many people still living in 14 Henrietta Street and out of the seventeen flats, many of them had emptied over time or where renovated into bigger ones.

The museum shares the story of how the building turned into a tenement house after it was once a residence for some of Dublin's most elite citizens.
