Visit our Flickr page and see the restoration as it unfolds! Restoring An Irish Home Apartment 14 is undergoing a transformation. Uninhabited for the past 50 years, this apartment on the 4th floor of our tenement will become the 1869 home of the Moore family. We've already swept up dust, installed electric lights and stripped the walls. We've still got a lot of work to do!  To recreate the 1860s, walls have to be moved, doors must be replaced and windows covered. Check back next month to see our progress! Irish Writers Podcast Last St. Patrick's Day, Tenement Talks hosted a who's who of Irish writers.
