Of course, as history changed, so did the use of the house. At one point there were so many working-class families living there that the number of people in the house rose to 100! Eventually it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. It was restored in the 2000s by dozens of traditional craftspeople who are experts in historic styles. The house was only opened to the public in September 2018. If you're interested, you can learn more at https://14henriettastreet.ie/.
