  "Rothe House, is a unique Irish 16th century merchant's townhouse complex located in the city of Kilkenny, Ireland. The complex was built by John Rothe Fitz-Piers between 1594–1610 and is made up of three houses, three enclosed courtyards, and a large reconstructed garden with orchard." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothe_House

  Looking at the photos on either side of this the connection is obviously "Hoover" and "Walt Disney" so maybe there's some kind of political brain washing machine prototype on trial here ??
