    Photographer Liz Ham was a regular visitor to The Dirty Habit and formed friendships with several residents. This site has operated as space where LGBTIQ+ people have lived and gathered for 22 years. Due to the house falling into disrepair tenants were told they must vacate the property in 2021. Liz Ham's photograph Paradise Lost was a finalist in the National Photographic Portrait Prize, 2022.
