There is something about Georgian architecture that appeals to me. The elegant simplicity of Georgian terraces, in particular. Dublin has many examples of such buildings, constructed when the city, then an important part of the British Empire, was rapidly developing at the end of the 18th Century.

The houses have a relatively small footprint, with much of the living space created by building upwards.
The size of the windows varies. The largest being on the first floor, where the main rooms used for entertaining guests were located. You enter the house via the basement of the house next door where you pay your relatively modest entry fee and wait for the next guided tour.
