PERIOD ELEGANCE: HISTORIC DUBLIN RESIDENCE
Houses such as 15 Northumberland Avenue were originally built as health retreats. Northumberland Avenue was part of new development inspired by a sea air and bathing health fad initiated by Queen Victoria herself. The arrival of the steam train here in the 1830s resulted in wealthy city-based families acquiring villas by the sea away from city smog. Built in 1840, unlike later properties, houses like this are double-fronted and wider rather than deep and much brighter inside as a result.
