May I introduce Mr. MacDonald D.I., not D.J. as we thought

Please God, let this be still standing?

    “Part of a complex designed by the well-known architect John Skipton, was circular in shape, resting on stone pillars with a roof that was made of light copper. In the centre of the lodge there was a large pillar which was hollow in the middle. As a result of this unique feature, all the fireplaces were built into this pillar which acted as a chimney. It caused great disappointment locally when it was discovered that it (the Copper Lodge) had been dismantled and sold in the 1970’s”

    "The Copper Lodge
    This lodge is situated in Portlaw opposite the Mercy Convent. The roof is made of copper and it is four story building. One storey of it is under ground and this is called the store because in olden times many kinds of food was kept there. The outside of it is round but it is like an ordinary house on the inside. In the centre of it there is a large pillar which is empty in the centre. All the fireplaces in the lodge are built into this pillar and it is used as a chimney. This lodge is owned by Miss Morelly Portlaw. This woman’s father was one of those who helped the Malcomsons to start the cotton factory in Portlaw. This house has fallen into ruins. There is only one lodge made like the copper lodge in Ireland."

    The catalogue says commissioned by Mr. Medlycott, Portlaw. The Medlycotts in the 1911 census.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    John Medlycott died aged 45 on Feb 10th in Portlaw, and Mary F. Medlycott was present, same family from the census above. Likely the 5 children from the census: Constance and Florence the older girls, John and George the two boys, and little Lilian.

    O Mac I think you are right. The double windows with outside wooden shutters seen here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000592859 - seem to match Clonegam north side. Lots of interesting info and enlargeable photos here - theirishaesthete.com/2019/07/01/curraghmore-church/
