It had previously being occupied by James Lillis in 1814 and also by Richard Pilkington who married Maria Blood of Applevale in 1805. Previously, in 1786, Wilson refers to Gower as the seat of Mr. Ames, "situated on a hill".

At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by William Blair leasing from the Vandeleur estate when the house was valued at £14. The property was labelled Cappagh House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Modern building has taken place in the area.
