Google aerial view as no Streetview available. Built in 1827 for the Shirley family according to Archiseek.

OSI Map. Is it just me or did the NIAH forget it? ETA: Well, the gardeners didn't forget it.

In the mild late autumn of 1938 no fewer than 68 different varieties of plants and shrubs were flowering in the garden, according to Mrs K Shirley, Lough Fea, Carrickmacross, in a letter to the London Times on 8th November. She thinks it must be some sort of record for somewhere so far north.
Sharon Corbet said:
There was an interesting article in the Examiner from 2012 explaining how most of the west side of Carrickmacross Main St. still belongs to the Shirley family.

The DIA gives construction dates from 1827-1848 (the latest for the Great Hall).

(guess) Is perchance that luggage wagon being propelled by that articulated railcar? (This is distracting me from getting to some negative digitisation to replace a O'Dea Thurles image on Wikipedia & Wikimedia commons up for a possible copyvio)

Deirge Del Good morning Deirge, yes it does appear to be hitched to the railcar.

happy new year .... always remember that trips "down south" needed a readjustment to Carrols and Aftons .... now thankfully I need no adjustments anywhere and save a lot of money.... humming " I hear that that lonesome whistle blow"
Foxglove said:

Continuing the Kavanagh theme since we are visiting his county! Now leave the check-reins slack, The seed is flying far today - The seed like stars against the black Eternity of April clay. This seed is potent as the seed Of knowledge in the Hebrew Book, So drive your horses in the creed Of God the Father as a stook.

There is a ruinous remnant at the NIAH: It is now roofless and overgrown, set within the grounds of a golf course. Dates from 1850.
Niall McAuley said:
The Baron in 1850 would have been Cadwallader Davis Blayney, 12th Lord Blayney, the last Baron of Monaghan.
Niall McAuley said:
The Temple is visible in from the Baron's house, Hope/Blayney Castle, as we see in L_ROY_08514, which I think is taken from the grounds. Streetview does not get in there, but here is a nearby photosphere, taken from a bit lower down and the trees have grown up.

L_CAB_08907 next door in the catalogue is also Castleblayney, the 1879 Almshouses.
