The first home of George Bernard Shaw, the renowned playwright has been restored to its Victorian elegance and charm, and has the appearance that the family have just gone out for the afternoon. The neat terraced house is as much a museum of Victorian Dublin domestic life as of the early years of one of Dublin's Nobel prize winners for literature: full of nostalgia and the atmosphere of another time.
It was in this house that Shaw began to imagine the characters who would later feature in his writings, from the drawing-room where Mrs. Shaw held many musical evenings, to the front parlour and childrens bedrooms. This charming residence is a wonderful insight into the everyday life of Victorian Dublin, and a pleasure to all who visit.
