This is an example of the lesser Georgian mansion of the type prevailing from 1720 to 1740, and is situated in County Kildare, about three miles to the east of Naas. As our photographs show, it consists of a central block of cut stone, with wings projecting on either side. There is an oblong hall, with wooden pillars, now embodied in an arch, supp...orting an entablature. To the left is the grand staircase, in three flights, with carved balusters and fascia, the whole being of Spanish chestnut (Plate LXIII). Plate LXIV shows the hall mantel, of carved pearwood, with an oval brass grate set in white marble.
