What is recorded here

Detached Canadian log cabin, built in 1927, on the shore of a lake within Birr Castle demesne. Pitched felt roof. Log walls with front veranda. Access gained to rear by timber steps. Timber casement windows and glazed timber panelled double doors. Interior with random rubble fireplace with carved plaque with date '1927' to mantle.

This Canadian style log cabin is located in a picturesque setting on the shores of a lake within the Birr Castle demesne. It was built specifically for the coming of age of Michael, sixth Earl of Rosse. The style of the cabin differs greatly from much of the architectural pieces within the demesne and adds to the charm of this modest structure.
