What is recorded here

According to Bence-Jones (1978, 211), the house was built in 1692 by the Lattin family. It was of two storeys with a dormered attic and had a deep, one-bay projection at either end of its SE-facing front. By the beginning of the 19th century various alterations included the addition of a four-storey tower, while in 1825 it was remodelled in Tudor-Revival style by the architect W. D. Butler: a new front was added, a tower was built at the NE end and the roof was raised. Although damaged by fire in the early 1980's the original house is still substantially intact and original features include the Jacobean-style chimneys. Stands near the S bank of a broad, sweeping bend in the River Liffey, at the end of a fine, long drive. (Sheehy 1966-7, 167-173) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
