The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates this house to circa 1790. It belonged to a family called Graham in the 18th century according to a story recorded in the Schools Collection under Coolmain House. It was named on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey Map (1836). In the 19th century this property belonged to the Brooke family of Dromavana, county Cavan. Burke’s Landed Gentry of Ireland 1904 records William Brooke of Dromavana, Dublin and Coolmaine House. He was born in 1769 and married Angel daughter of Captain Edward Perry and niece and heiress of Colonel Richard Graham. John Goudy of Coolmain House is listed in Lewis’ ‘Topographical Dictionary’ published 1837 for the parish of Tehallan but his name is spelt Gondy in the list of subscribers. John Goudy is recorded in Griffith’s Valuation as resident holding the property from the Reverend Edward P. Brooke and others. James Gondy Lewers of Coolmain House died in November 1885 (The Northern Standard, 7 November 1885). This house was occupied by James H. Pollock in 1911 and is still a residence. |
