Conserving Your Dublin Townhouse : Lecture series
The Irish Georgian Society has assembled a team of leading conservation experts to deliver a conservation course on the understanding and care of Dublin’s historic houses. The Conserving Your Dublin Townhouse course is relevant to owners of all periods and types of historic houses, from the modest Edwardian artisan dwellings to the substantial red bricks of the Victorian suburbs and the fine townhouse of our Georgian city squares.
Lectures, which will start on Tuesday 2nd February 2010 (1pm to 2pm) and continue for 12 weeks, will take place in the Helen Roe Theatre, RSAI, 63 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
It is possible to attend all, one or as many of the lecturers as you wish. The lectures are priced at €10 (€5 for fulltime students with card), which you may pay at the door or book in advance for a special price of €100 (€50 for fulltime students with card) for all 12 lectures.
It is possible to book through the Society’s website (www.igs.ie) or by ringing the Society (01 6767053)
