Description Togherstown House, named The Lodge on the first edition OS map with a small demesne. This is a three-bay two-storey over basement house, built before 1837 possibly incorporating the remains of an earlier house c.1700 built by Thomas Magan, High Sheriff of Co Westmeath. By 1837 Togherstown House was in the occupation of William Thomas Dillon (d. 1870). It was valued at £22 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), William T Dillon holding it from William H Magan MP. William Thomas Dillon was the son of Thomas Dillon of Lung, county Mayo and was married to Teresa daughter of Edmund Count Nugent of Ballinacor, county Westmeath. Margaret Treddin, widow and caretaker, and her family were resident in 1901 and 1911 holding the property from Julia Dillon of Dublin. The house was restored in the 21st century.
