| Description |
Meeldrum is a three-bay three-storey house, possibly built by Malachy Tracy. The third storey may have been added in the 1880s. A Mr M Tracy was resident in 1814. Malachy’s daughter Catherine married Thomas Clarke in 1798 (O’Brien). Lewis records Mrs Clarke as resident in 1837. Mrs James Clarke occupied the house at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when it was valued at £14 and held in fee. Mrs Maria Clarke lived here in the 1870s. The house appears to be unoccupied in 1901 but held by Thomas Clarke. In 1906 Martin and James Larkin were in residence and they are recorded in the 1911 census as the occupiers the house with their niece. The house remains a family home. |
