Open House | Festival of Architecture 2025

Discover the history and heritage of Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre, an iconic Georgian space in Dublin’s city centre.

Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre is located at 105 Capel Street, a historically significant Georgian residence, dating from 1770. Outhouse is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the people, spaces, and issues important to the LGBTQ+ communities. Our vision is a future where LGBTQ+ individuals are safe, seen, and celebrated.

105 Capel Street is a large three-bay, four-storey-over-raised-basement townhouse of national architectural significance (NIAH). Visitors can explore its many surviving features, including enriched hand-modelled Rococo stucco work, cornices, and ceiling roses, original room layouts, 18th-century windows, and an original open staircase with carved tread ends and internal joinery of fine architectural quality.
