This week in 1941 a fire broke out above the state apartments in Dublin Castle.
Firefighters worked hard to salvage irreplaceable paintings and furniture.
Over 100 feet of roof collapsed and the upper two floors were severely damaged

The 1st #strawhouse in Europe was renovated after ~100 years. I asked the cncp-feuillette.fr about problems with the renovation for a lecture:
"We didn't need to carry out any major renovations, just plastering and limewash paint, because it was in very good condition."

New one for me; the "Bunch of keys" house & the Barley fields at the top of what would become O'Connell Street in Dublin. From Desmond Moore's Dublin's yesterdays 1994.

The cabbage has been maintained by the Sweeney family in the Donegal village Gortahork since 1910 when Owen Sweeney bought the original seeds from Scotland. It is a fairly unique large drumhead cabbage that may actually be a lost cabbage variety from the island of Skye in Scotland.

A recent historical rabbit hole was prompted by some text on The Burlington Restaurant & Hotel in Desmond Moore's Dublin's Yesterdays from 1994. The Burlington, located at the corner of St. Andrews St & Church Lane was viewed as the best restaurant in Ireland in the late C19.
