• Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Gerrard: In the mid-to-late 19th century, the house was the primary residence of Lt. Col. Gerrard. His demesne occupied almost the entire surrounding townland, and under his ownership, the estate was renowned for hosting grand, lavish social gatherings.
• Edward Sclater: By the turn of the century, the property passed to Edward Sclater, a prominent local land agent and magistrate. According to the 1901 Census of Ireland, Sclater lived in the main house alongside his family and a dedicated team of domestic staff.

Georges St., Limerick now known as O'Connell St

Cruise's Royal Hotel had an advert in Freeman's July 27 1891, saying it had "A Commercial Room exclusively for Commercial Gentlemen" and "A Ladies' Coffee Room"

Advert in Freeman's February 18, 1885. Word of the day: "superintendence"

You wouldn't expect cars in 1900 but the lack of bicycles is surprising.
