[a] From the mid-19th century the wealthier residents of Dublin began to move further from the city centre, and the houses in the area often had multiple occupancy.

[2] Anthony Burgess spent three days in February 1965 with a film crew to make part of a BBC television programme on Joyce.

[1] Joyce first saw the row of three-storey brick houses when he visited his friend John Francis Byrne at 7 Eccles Street in 1909.

[4] He leaves the door ajar, because he had left his latch key in his trousers in the "creaky wardrobe" and does not want to disturb his wife.

[2] The novel continues, describing a day in the life of a modern Odysseus (Ulysses), a family man whose wife is being unfaithful.

When he retires to bed in 7 Eccles Street that evening he has to remove crumbs of potted meat from the bedclothes, presumably left there by Molly and her lover.

[5] Before the house was completely demolished John Ryan, a Dublin artist and writer who had organized the first Bloomsday in 1954, managed to rescue the front door and the surrounding brickwork.
