| Description |
Retreat was a two-storey, three bay late 18th century house built by Thomas Cooke and located close to the east side of Athlone town. It was occupied by General Hart in 1814, F E Moony in 1837 and by Major Owen Lloyd Ormsby at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), who held the property valued at £20 from William Cooke. Later occupants of this house were the Costello, Kilduff and Young families. The house and lands were sold to the Athlone Urban District Council in 1998 and the house demolished. |
