Saint James's HospitalConvent/nunnery · 26 yd

Explorer Tom Saint James's Hospital in County Dublin is a former convent from around 1890. It’s got an oriel window and a projecting apsidal chancel to the chapel. Red brick detailing makes it look interesting. Show me that west end, it’s quite distinctive.

Explorer Tom The Clinical Nutrition building at Saint James's Hospital was once part of a workhouse from the 1800s. It’s red brick and looks like it’s seen some things.

Kenny's LoungeHouse · 292 yd

Explorer Tom Kenny's Lounge was born in 1920 but actually dates back further, and is the birthplace of W.T. Cosgrave. It’s now a pub with red brick that clashes slightly with its neighbour. Grab a pint if you can find it!

Mary Aikenhead HouseApartment/flat (purpose-built) · 305 yd

Explorer Tom Mary Aikenhead House on James's Street is an early social housing gem with curved corners. Designed by H.G. Simms in the 1940s, it breaks up the scale nicely. Greet those balconies from the street!

Explorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.

Explorer Tom Stone of Remembrance in County Dublin says their names live forever, which is a bold claim considering most of us forget our own names on Monday mornings, so maybe keep your head up if you hear whispers.
