City Assembly House is a Georgian gallery, exhibition space and office developed by the Society of Artists in Ireland as a purpose-built venue to hold exhibitions and display the works of Irish artists. It is often claimed to have been the first purpose-built art gallery in either the UK or Ireland.
As of 2023, the building acts as a gallery and as the headquarters of the Irish Georgian Society, having formerly served as the seat of Dublin Corporation.
