Estate summary

Alanna Gallagher reports the proposed sale of Bram’s birthplace at 15 Marino Crescent in January 2012, the centenary year of his death. Alongside a description of the house and its condition, she records the owners’ wish for a State purchase and a proposal to establish a museum. The account is useful evidence of a debate about preserving and interpreting the building. Its asking price, ownership details and proposed use describe the position in 2012; they do not establish the property’s present status or show that a museum was created.

Complete property feature and displayed publication date checked: Alanna Gallagher, The Irish Times, 26 January 2012. Descriptions, asking price and museum proposal belong to that date. The picture identifies the actual birthplace; no current sale or completed museum is implied.
