The Birthplace of Kate O'Brien, author, generally claimed now as a lesbian writer (there is a "Kate O'Brien's" pub in San Francisco) - though some of those who knew her dispute this (including her biographer Lorna Reynolds), born 3rd Dec 1897, Limerick city. House was built in 1880, its size indicative of the O'Brien's wealth. Needs work today.
