Why it mattered
Brookley House — Drom matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This country house is a notable example of Georgian architecture in Ireland. It displays interesting features such as the cut limestone steps leading to the decorative Gibbsian doorway. This ornate doorway adds artistic interest to the building and was obviously the work of a skilled craftsman. The house, together with the outbuildings and gate lodge create an interesting group of related buildings. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
