Why it mattered

Glenwilliam Lodge matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This attractive Georgian style house has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features including a hipped slate roof, timber sash windows, internal timber shutters and tooled stone sills. The house makes a strong contribution to the architectural heritage of south County Limerick. Originally, the house formed part of the large estate that belonged to the Glenwilliam demesne. The house also incorporates the former labourer's cottage which was beside it. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
