Entrance to 7 Eccles Street at the James Joyce Centre Dublin

This is where Leopold and Molly Bloom live in Ulysses. It is where Bloom begins his day, June 16, 1904, in the "Calypso" episode. It is also where he and Stephen end the day in the "Ithaca" episode at 2 A.M.

Eccles street is mentioned ten times, while 7 Eccles street is mentioned only once in Ulysses. The specific reference to 7 Eccles street in the "The Wandering Rocks," episode is, "A card UNFURNISHED APARTMENTS reappeared on the windowsash of number 7 Eccles street."
