1800s – Clonshavoy House, Co. Limerick 

The Irish Tourist Association surveyor writes in 1944 that the house was interesting as it was the remains of a very old Elizabethan house. He says that more than half the house was pulled down as it was unsafe “and the present eastern wing is a reconstruction”. Photograph from the Irish Tourist Association Survey 1943-44.

Appraisal 

Clonshavoy House is an important house architecturally within County Limerick. The style chosen for this former Barrington family residence is significant. The cottage style was not often employed in houses in County Limerick and its survival is of architectural importance.
