House name	Description
Ebor Hall	A house built before Griffith's Valuation by Deputy Commissary General Booth on land leased from the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin. Booth later sold his interest to Lord Mountmorres who was murdered nearby in 1880. In 1885 Walford refers to it as the seat of Joseph Skerrett Blake. It belonged to the Boyd family for much of the 20th century. Extensively renovated in the late 20th century, it is now a well maintained residence on the shore of Lough Corrib.
Fairhill	Built in the late 18th or early 19th century, Fairhill was the home of the Fair family. It became established as a well known guest house for fishermen in the 20th century and is now a modern hotel run by descendants of the Fairs.
Gortnarup	A Joyce residence at the beginning of the 19th century. Gortnarup House is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map.
Petersburg	An early 18th century house, the seat of the Lynch family in the 18th and 19th centuries. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Lynch on the shore of Lough Mask in 1786. In 1986 the house and immediate surrounds were vested in the county Galway Vocational Education Committee. The house and yard buildings have been completely renovated and now function as an Outdoor Education Centre.
Benlevy Lodge	A lodge situated close to the shore of Lough Mask and to the Lynch's house at Petersburg. Ocuppied by J. Blake in 1837 and by the Reverend E.G.O'Grady at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The remains of the lodge are still visible.
Blake Hill	A house on the estate of the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, occupied by the Blakes of Menlo in the late 18th century/early 19th century. Thomas Blake of Brendrum, county Galway, married Mary Lynch, granddaughter of Sir Roebuck Lynch Blosse, 2nd baronet, and they were the parents of the 9th and 10th Blake of Menlo baronets. By the time of Griffith's Valuation the most valuable house in the townland of Breandrim was a herd's house of £4.15 occupied by C. B. Kenny. On the 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s Breandrim House is recorded as "in ruins". Old yard walls remain at this site.
