| Description |
Glynwood house is located east of Athlone. The original house was constructed about 1790 by Francis Longworth and rebuilt about 1860 by John Longworth (1798-1881). A new house in the Italianate style was built in the early 1880s for Francis Travers Dames Longworth to the design of George Moyers. On 1 February 1918, a few lines in the Belfast News-Letter stated that Glynwood House, Athlone, the family mansion of the Dames-Longworth family, had been destroyed by fire. It is now an ivy covered ruin. See https://houseandheritage.org/2018/02/01/glynwood-house/ The present Glynwood House, formerly the agent’s house is located to the northwest of the site of the original Glynnwood House and dates from the late 19th century. |
