Williamstown House (Longford) At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Williamstown House was leased by William Allen from the Edgeworth estate, when it was valued at £10. A much smaller building appears at the site on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the existing Williamstown was built c.1847. It is still in use. In the 1870s William Allen was recorded as the owner of almost 200 acres in County Longford. Photo of Williamstown House (Longford)

The Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as 'a good dwelling house with a good kitchen garden' in the mid-1830s. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Cuffe and Pakenham families and dates the original house to the mid-18th century.
