What is recorded here
Kilfrush in County Limerick has pillars at the gate lodge before you even reach the four at the front porch. By then you’d be wondering whether your invitation said ‘come for tea’ or ‘bring tribute’.
Detached eight-bay two-storey country house, built c. 1835, with five-bay side elevation. Hipped roof with rendered chimneystacks. Square-headed window openings. Projecting porch with four Ionic columns and steps up to entrance. Doric style pillared gate lodge within demesne.
Kilfrush was built for Joseph Gubbin by the architect Charles Frederick Anderson. It is an important country house within the architectural heritage of County Limerick. The attendant Doric style gate lodge is also of significance being part of the demesne related architecture.
