House name Description
Odell Lodge/Melrose House Leased by Rev. Thomas Thurtle from the O'Dell estate in 1851 when it was valued at £18 10s. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates it was later known as Melrose House. In 1942 the ITA survey noted the property as the Melrose Hotel, formerly Odell Lodge. The survey states that it was built by the Odell family as a summer residence. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Odell Lodge/Melrose House
Rock House (Ardmore) Richard Usher was leasing this property from the O'Dell estate in 1851 when it was valued at £18. Though the building is still visible it is not named on the later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it may once have been three houses that were amalgamated into one property, possibly in the early nineteenth century. It is still extant.

Ardoginna House Leased by Sir Joseph Neale McKenna from the estate of the Duc deCastres until its sale in 1864, when it was bought by McKenna. Formerly a residence of the Coghlan family. Eliza, a daughter of this Coghlan family, married the Duc deCastres. Ardoginna was owned by the McKenna family until the early twentieth century. It was briefly used as an Irish college before the purchase of Monea House for that purpose. Brady notes that it is now a ruin. In the 1780s, both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson had noted a house called Grey Rock as a residence of the Coghlan family in this area. Photo of Ardoginna House
