p. 88. “(Meredith/LG1875; Tweedy/LGI1912) A High-Victorian Tudor-Gothic house of polychrome brick, with gables, dormer-gables and a turret and spire. Two storey hall with large staircase and stained glass window. Built from 1856 onwards by Capt T.J. Meredith to the designs of an architect named Montgomery. The place was said to have a curse on it, which Yeats alludes to in The Ballad of Father O’Hart. Certainly the Victorian house was not very fortunate; Cap Meredith died before it was finished. The walls failed to keep out the damp and were plastered over, except on the front. For much of the time it was a private residence, it was let; then, early in the present century, after it had passed through marriage to the Tweedy family, it was sold and became a convent. It is now owned by the Passionist fathers.”
