What is recorded here

Gerard Dillon, 1916-1971, an artist, drew his first breath in the house at 26 Lower Clonard Street. The blue plaque, recorded by the Ulster History Circle, still marks the exact wall where that life began. A child likely crawled across those floors before learning to see shape and shadow, carrying the room's light into every canvas he would later paint.
