Along its narrow streets are nestled the largest collection of preserved eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century dwellings in America.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just what I was looking for...By Mary D. SalaiThese pieces were all very edifying. I felt like I knew nothing about Synge. When Peter OToole passed away. Synge was mentioned in several interviews along with other great Irish writers and playwrights. If you need to know more. read the plays. of course. too.
