Drumcondra BridgeBridge · 42 ydExplorer Tom Drumcondra Bridge is cut granite and cast-iron balustrades, looking very pleased with itself. It would review its visitors as 'adequate but lacking in architectural appreciation.' Tell it I said you were here; it likes an audience for its arches.
Statue of Our LadyStatue · 53 ydExplorer Tom Statue of Our Lady in Our Lady’s Park was erected in 1954 for the Marian Year. It stands on a limestone pedestal saying 'Ave Maria'. The Virgin is definitely judging your outfit while you take photos here.
Fagan'sPublic house · 107 ydExplorer Tom Fagan's public house on Drumcondra Road is from 1907 and has an Art Nouveau script that’s very confident. Bill Clinton had a pint there in 1998, so it’s got celebrity history. See if the Black Stuff is still flowing inside!
Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 126 ydExplorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in County Dublin has an Art-Deco twist! Converted in 1927, it’s got high-quality granite and limestone masonry. Beckett & Harrington designed it to look modern yet traditional. It’s right on Drumcondra Road Lower, so pop in if you’re feeling fancy!
Glenarm HouseHouse · 223 ydExplorer Tom Glenarm House on Glenarm Avenue is a semi-detached house from 1875 with a stucco finish that stands out in the red brick area. It has canted bays and stained-glass middle lights with loose Gothic references, making it look attractive and distinct from its neighbors.
Children's playground333 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is open and ready. I bet the slide is actually a rainbow. Slide down and take a picture of the colors at the bottom!
Tree of Heaven1202 ydExplorer Tom Tree of Heaven in County Dublin sounds like it fell from the sky but probably just moved house. Bring a pen pal, they’ll be jealous you’re hanging out with a tree that has such a dramatic name.
Burial ground in Unknown TownlandBurial ground · 1219 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burial ground in Dublin. Builders digging hospital foundations found bones back in 1951, inspected by a museum guy. Later digs turned up nothing, which is either good news or just very deep hiding for those skeletons.
Caucasian zelkova1244 ydExplorer Tom Caucasian Zelkova in County Dublin is judging the road that leads to it with intense leafy contempt. It looks like it’s waiting for a taxi that isn't coming and has no patience whatsoever. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, if you're brave enough.
Killing of David ByrneMurder · 1310 ydExplorer Tom Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.
St Mobhis ChurchEcclesiastical site · 1334 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom St Mobhis Church had a miracle where the whole building jumped banks to the east side. It rebuilt itself in 1717 because the original vibes were too wild. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
Dcu Community GardenGarden · 1695 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Dcu Community Garden in County Dublin seems like a place where people grow more than just vegetables. Probably some serious drama happening in those flowerbeds, I’d wager.
