A 350 year old house - thought to be Dublin's oldest home - will open its doors for visitors this weekend.

(Original beams in the roof, not the pine coloured ones!)

It's part of the Open House Dublin weekend, with free guided tours available to hundreds of the city's oldest public, private, commercial and industrial buildings.

They include the US Embassy in Ballsbridge, City Hall, the Casino in Marino and even the Convention Centre.
