House name Description
Loughglynn Loughglynn was the main residence of the Dillon family, built circa 1715, extended in the 1820s and altered again in the early 20th century. It is recorded in 1814, 1837 and in Griffith's Valuation as the seat of Viscount Dillon. The Dillons were absentee landlords for much of the nineteenth century and their agents, the Stricklands, lived in the house. During the twentiethcentury the house served as a convent. Loughglinn House is still extant. Photo of Loughglynn
Caher Charles French was leasing the house at Caher, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £16, from Lord de Freyne's estate, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis also records the house as the residence of C. French in 1837. In the same year the Ordnance Survey Name books record Caher as a "dwelling house of three stories and slated". In the 1749 Census of Elphin F. Elwood was recorded as residing at Caher. By 1894 it was the residence of the Dowager Lady de Freyne. The building is still extant.
Coolagarry Charles Ellison was leasing a property at Coolagarry valued at £8 10s from Viscount Dillon's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Ordnance Survey Field Name books record that there were no houses that could be called farmhouses in this townland in 1837 so it is assumed that Coolagarry must have been constructed 1837-1855. There is still a house extant at this site. Photo of Coolagarry
Derry Lodge At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Elizabeth Sandford was leasing a house at Derry, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £6 from the French estate. The house is described in the Ordnance Survey Name books of 1837 as "a good house, two stories high and thatched". The first edition of the Ordnance Survey map indicates a mill and a building described as "site of old iron works" close to the site. A modern building is located at Derry now.
