From where you are standing, 4 things to find
- 01The O'Conor Don coat of arms on the side elevation.
- 02The three-stage entrance tower with pilasters and a balcony.
- 03The ruin of the older Georgian house, standing to the south of the present one.
- 04A decorative cast-iron bridge and a single-arch stone bridge, both crossing the River Suck on the avenue.
Built around 1878 to a design by Frederick Cockerell, in late Victorian Italianate style.
The appraisal calls it one of the first concrete houses constructed in Ireland
and arguably the finest expression of the Victorian Italianate style in County Roscommon.
It is the seat of the O'Conor Don family. The eighteenth-century house they left stands in ruins beside it — the inventory calls that a reminder of the continuity of habitation enjoyed by this estate.
