In Honor of St. Patrick!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Hopefully you’re wearing green. Or drinking Guinness. Or maybe even doing both!

Of course, everyone is Irish today. But we thought that, in honor of the day, we’d showcase a few homes of the Emerald Isle’s most famous patriots:

 

Few Irishmen are more famed or universally beloved than the inimitable aesthete Oscar Wilde. Above is his childhood home.

 

A blast from the present. Above is U2 lead singer Bono’s home.

 

James Joyce set a story in his house – “The Dead”.

 

And now, my personal favorite: Thoor Ballylee, the home of Ireland’s greatest giant of modernist poetry, William Butler Yeats.
