Bram Stoker's Dublin
Bram Stoker’s birthplace, 15 Marino Crescent, in Clontarf, which was at that time a suburb of Dublin. The Crescent was built in 1792 as a crescent moon shaped row of twenty-six four-story Georgian style houses. Bram’s parents moved here in 1845, before the birth of their eldest son, Thornley.
