In Dublin, Russell Kirk once wrote, there stands a "roofless wreck of an eighteenth-century house." Since 1729 this crumbling place has served as many things, including a shop and a government office "of the meaner sort." But these ruins have a forgotten significance: they are what remains of the birthplace of Edmund Burke, who Kirk saw as the epitome of "conservatism, justice, and prudence."
