Griffith’s Valuation records William Humphrys as the occupier, holding the property in fee. Still the home of a member of the Humphrys family in 1901. Richard Weir and his wife occupied the house in 1911 holding it from Nugent W. Humphrys. Damaged by fire in the early 20th century, the building is now a ruin.
