DUBLIN CIVIC TRUST

Dublin Civic Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to the conservation and celebration of Dublin's historic built environment. By offering expert guidance on building conservation, architectural heritage, and the origins of Irish construction materials, the Trust helps owners, occupiers and professionals understand and protect the city's unique architectural legacy.

The Trust's core activities include managing high-profile restoration projects-such as the award-winning 18 Ormond Quay Upper and the current work at 68 Arran Street East-providing access to national grant schemes like the Built Heritage Investment Scheme and the Historic Structures Fund, and delivering specialist learning events, for example the UCD-partnered webinar on the hygro-thermal performance of traditional walls. Its flagship publication, *Irish Period Houses*, remains the definitive reference for anyone undertaking a period-building project, and a range of pop-up exhibitions and symposia further engage the public and the heritage community.

Based in Dublin, the Trust serves owners of protected structures, architects, conservation surveyors and anyone with a passion for preserving Ireland's architectural heritage, combining practical support with advocacy to ensure the city's historic fabric thrives for future generations.
