Bellanalack	Bellanalack is marked on the first edition OS map and the later 25 inch map but a much smaller building is now located on the site. The house was occupied by Christopher Adamson in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). He held the property valued at £13 from Lord Castlemaine.
Carn Park	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.
Glynwood House	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.
Nahodmore House	This building is marked on the first edition OS map, altered and expanded on the 25 inch map. O’Brien states that it was built by the Adamson family. Leet records William Marsh as resident at Nahad in 1814. Valued at £11 Nahodmore House was occupied by Thomas Russell and held from John Trench at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854).

They were members of the Society of Friends while caretakers Alexander and Jane Elder for William W Russell were living there in 1911.

Shurock	The Homan family appear to have settled at Shurock in the early 18th century. The original house at Shurock was built sometime in the eighteenth century, with a later single-storey Gothic wing added at the end of the eighteenth century. This house was the home of Captain Homan, about 1760 and of Sir W Jackson-Homan (barrister) in 1837. Sir William was created a baronet in 1801. The house is marked but not named on the first edition OS map and the building later expanded as shown on the 25 inch map. O’Brien states that the house was sold in the Encumbered Estates Court and it must have been purchased by George Fleming as he was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) holding it in fee. It was valued at £23. The house is now a ruin.

It is a building of three storeys over a basement, having a three-bay single-storey wing, added c.1850 by the Ennis family. The National Built Heritage Service states that this grand house is unusual in that it is constructed of brick, a very rare building material in Westmeath at the time of construction. In 1837 Lewis wrote that Ballynahown was the ancient residence of the Malone family, built on the site of an old castle and now unoccupied, having passed into other hands. Andrew Ennis bought the house in 1828. He was a wealthy Catholic merchant and business man who bought up land in the Athlone area of County Westmeath. His son John Ennis became a Governor of the Bank of Ireland and was knighted in 1866. He occupied the house at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when it was valued at £15. Sir John was succeeded by his son Sir John James Ennis who died in 1884 and was succeeded by his sister Marie Sophie who was married to Daniel O’Donaghue of the Glens. The O’Donaghues continued to own Ballynahown until they sold it in 1968. It remains a well maintained residence.
