The Old BankBank/financial institution · 15 ydExplorer Tom The Old Bank in Crossguns South is an Italianate brick monster with a wraparound arcade that looks like it's waiting for tourists who aren't coming. Built around 1900, it stands at Doyle’s Corner looking lonely and expensive simultaneously.
John Doyle’s, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’sShop/retail outlet · 31 ydExplorer Tom John Doyle’s in Crossguns South is wearing a pub outfit but keeping its shopkeeper secrets. Built in 1873 with that fancy curved corner, it’s been watching the traffic for 150 years without blinking.
The HutPublic house · 45 ydExplorer Tom The Hut in Crossguns South has a distorting mirror in its shopfront. That’s just brilliant! It’s been a pub since 1898 and keeps its Victorian interior intact. Try not to laugh at your own reflection if you pass it.
shop/retail outlet49 ydExplorer Tom House in Clontarf East is an 1820 terrace survivor with cast-iron railings that look like they've seen better days. It's got a fanlight that tries hard. Take a photo before the sea fog eats it.
Irish Volunteers memorialMonument · 104 ydExplorer Tom Irish Volunteers memorial in County Dublin was chiselled by Leo Broe. He probably got paid in sandwiches. The sculpture looks like it’s thinking hard about lunch.
Frank DuffMemorial · 289 ydExplorer Tom Frank Duff in County Dublin is where the Legion of Mary boss was born back in 1889. He kicked off a whole religious movement from that house, which is pretty wild for just a birthplace.
Chinese Toon463 ydExplorer Tom Chinese Toon in County Dublin? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? The picture shows a temple, not this. It's playing dress-up as an ancient wise man.
Hungry TreeHeritage attraction · 1037 ydExplorer Tom Hungry Tree in County Dublin is eating a bench at King's Inns. It looks like a plant that got into a fistfight with the furniture and won. Don't sit too close.
London Plane1042 ydExplorer Tom London Plane number three in County Dublin is just standing there looking annoyed. The photo shows a trunk that looks like a monster. Take a picture before it bites you!
Glasnevin CemeteryHistoric cemetery · 1450 ydExplorer Tom Glasnevin Cemetery is the whole historic area, not just the office. It’s got Daniel O’Connell’s tomb with a fake round tower on top. Snap that symbolic structure if you’re wandering around!
Royal BarracksBarracks · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Royal Barracks: The very first Dublin barracks, built on land bought from the Duke of Ormonde in the early 1700s. It sounds like a real estate deal where the landlord got paid in military discipline and noise.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin turned a nice building into a fireball in 1921. The caption says it was burning on May 25th. Take a picture of your own burning toast for comparison, yeah?
