Dublin City CouncilBank/financial institution · 13 ydExplorer Tom Dublin City Council’s old bank building has an irregular plan that would make a puzzle master cry. It’s enigmatic and exquisitely made, apparently, but I bet it argues with the rain daily. Bring your own luck!
Crests and ArmsApartment/flat (purpose-built) · 27 ydExplorer Tom Crests and Arms in County Dublin is a four-storey corner building from around 1880 on Cork Hill, with a flat roof behind a red brick parapet. It’s got moulded red brick that articulates the facade beautifully. Give the dentillated cornice a proper look if you’re passing by!
Queen of TartsApartment/flat (purpose-built) · 30 ydExplorer Tom Queen of Tarts is an apartment building that thinks its name makes it a royal dessert, which is hilarious because it’s on Cork Hill. It shares a parapet with its neighbor, so they’re basically twins who never learned to share. Tell me if you see any bricks trying to articulate their feelings in the facade!
Habitation site in Unknown TownlandHabitation site · 34 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Habitation site in Dublin has a stacked history from the late 10th to 14th century. Superimposed housing plots were found on Castle Street. It’s like geological layers of people just piling up their lives one on top of another.
Arlington HotelOffice · 38 ydExplorer Tom The Arlington Hotel on Lord Edward Street is really an office now, which is a bit of a letdown. It was designed to be eye-catching, so I assume it's just showing off. It’s probably waiting for someone important to check in.
office41 ydExplorer Tom Office on Lord Edward Street has a limestone entrance that looks like it cost a fortune. It's monumental and serious, probably because someone had to look important there. Pop by and tell it I said hi!
FiorentinaOffice · 41 ydExplorer Tom Fiorentina in Parliament Street, County Dublin is a corner office building from around 1920 that now houses a restaurant. It has a bull-nosed corner bay and decorative brickwork that shows off its artisan craftsmanship. Take a pic of the facade before it gets covered in graffiti!
TombTomb, effigial · 48 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tomb in Dublin is another angle on the Purcell double tomb, where the knight looks like he’s ready for a duel. The lady’s rosette belt is doing more work than her husband. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about the will.
Dublin City HallHeritage attraction · 50 ydExplorer Tom Dublin City Hall in County Dublin has some pretty floors that might make your head spin. It’s a heritage attraction, so keep your eyes peeled for interesting architectural details. The building itself is quite the show-off with its grandeur.

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 102 ydExplorer Tom Dublin Castle replaced an earthwork site on a ridge bounded by the Poddle river. It had a barbican gate and drawbridge right in the middle of town. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, even if you’re wrong.
Veronica GuerinHeritage attraction · 168 ydExplorer Tom Veronica Guerin in County Dublin was a journalist who dug up too much dirt and paid for it on June 16th, 1996. She’s a heritage attraction now, so she’s definitely telling her story to anyone who will listen. Don’t interrupt her!
John FieldMemorial · 442 ydExplorer Tom John Field in County Dublin again! This one is a memorial to the composer. He died in Moscow, which is a bit far from Golden Lane, don’t you think?
