| Description |
Carn Park was built by the Adamson family in the late 18th century. Travers Adamson, son of William Gustavus Adamson was resident in 1814 and W G Adamson in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) the property was in Chancery, Robert Adamson was the occupant and the buildings were valued at £24. On 17 June 1870 when the house and lands were advertised for sale in the Land Court the house was described as a ‘commodious dwelling house (with suitable out offices) on Lot 1, which, although somewhat out of repair, is capable (at a moderate outlay) of being made a comfortable residence for a gentleman and his family. The house is prettily situated on the slope of a hill, commanding an extensive view’. It was bought by the Rev Thomas Thompson Gray of Dorrington, Drumraney, who was Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1916-1924. The house was demolished in the mid-20th century. |
