This will include a tour of the building which is one of the great Georgian houses of Dublin. Built for the speculative developer Gustavus Hume in the mid-1790s and situated directly across Merrion Square from Leinster House, this is the largest terraced house on the Square and is the centrepiece of its East Side.

We will also visit the current exhibition Architecture and the Pattern Book – An exhibition of volumes from the Rowan Collection.

Alistair and Ann Martha Rowan have been closely associated with the Irish Architectural Archive since its foundation. Together the Rowans have recently deposited their important collection of historic architectural volumes with the Archive, providing representative examples from many different countries of this profoundly European cultural heritage.
