A three-storey mid 18th century house. The entrance front has a three-sided central bow
and a single bay on either side of it, and a fanlighted doorway with baseless
pediment; the garden side is expressed as seven plain bays with angle quoins. A detached early 19th century two-storey three bay service wing abuts one corner of the garden front. Inside there is a fine plaster
frieze in the hall. In the mid 20th century the house was the home of Dr & Mrs W.G. Fegan, but it is now an
hotel.
Woodville House, Lucan, Dublin
A
rambling house, consisting of a symmetrical mid 18th century block
with a fanlighted doorway in its entrance front, and a large late Georgian wing. The original block is attributed to Nathaniel
Clements, who owned the estate; it is a smaller version of his house in Pheonix
Park. The wing was apparently built in
1779 for Col. Henry Theophilus Clements by Thomas Penrose and Thomas Rodderick.
The garden front with a curved bow is joined to the stables by curved sweeps
with pineapples. Inside the house had a
small hall with a stone staircase and an enfilade of reception rooms along the
garden front, including a large bow-fronted drawing room with 19th century wallpaper in white and gold and a room with a plasterwork frieze of
fruit. Charles Clarke, plasterer, was
paid for work including the staircase and Great Room ceilings in 1788. The house stood empty for forty years in the
early 20th century, but was restored and occupied by Eva and Letitia
Hamilton c.1950. In a characteristically Irish sudden reversal of fortunes, however, it was demolished
before c.1980.
Killiney Castle, Dublin

| Killiney Castle before recent additions |
This house has been alternatively known as Mount Malpas, Roxborough and Loftus Hill. The first house on the site was built about 1740 for Col. John Mapas or Malpas, and it is not clear whether the present two storey seven bay Georgian house is substantially of this time or a rebuilding for Col. Henry Loftus after 1764. The Georgian house was given Gothic decoration in about 1840 by Robert Warren, including castellation, corner turrets, another pair of turrets in the centre, and a Gothic porch. Later the arrangement of the centre was altered to create a canted bow a storey higher than the rest of the front and with a conical roof.

| Killiney Castle today |
The house is now a hotel (Fitzpatrick’s Castle) and there are large additions, castellated in a perfunctory way. The whole building is painted a lurid red and white. An obelisk on the hilltop above the house was erected by Mr. Malpas in 1742 to provide employment and restored in 1840 by Robert Warren.

Culverthorpe Hall, Lincolnshire
The story of the present house
begins with the building of a seven bay, two and a half storey house for Sir
John Newton, c.1679; this is framed by a pair of detached office ranges at
right angles to the main front, one of which is contemporary and the other
apparently early 17th century, the sole survivor from the
previous house. In c.1700-05 William and
Edward Stanton built a new grand staircase for John and Susanna Newton,
unusually but effectively placed in a projection in the centre of the north
front that replaced the original porch.
This has quoins at the angles, fluted Ionic columns framing the doorway
and a tall staircase window above. The
addition is treated as a single bay but obscures three bays of the original
house. By 1734, Sir Michael Newton had
begun further extensions, taking the form of lower wings attached to the east
and west sides of the original block.
The wings appear two storeyed and of two bays on the north side but have
on the south side a single Venetian window each, a lunette window in the
basement, and a sculptured roundel above.
Sir Michael also refaced the south front of the main block in a more Palladian style, giving it five more generously spaced bays in place of the original seven. He further intended colonnades to extend his new wings outward and a start was made on these but they were never completed in the form illustrated in a Badeslade engraving. These changes were apparently designed by Robert Morris and executed under his supervision, but Roger Morris was simultaneously employed on Sir Michael’s London house, and it is likely that he was also involved at Culverthorpe in some capacity. Inside the house has competent interiors, chiefly of the Palladian period. The staircase of 1704-05 survives in a spacious open well, with three twisted balusters to the tread, and nice details such as inlay panels to the risers. The walls were painted before 1704 by Louis Haudoray with the story of Psyche, but the remains are now whitewashed over. The main south door enters into a tripartite entrance hall occupying the full width of the original house, with two screens of paired fluted Corinthian columns. The wings are occupied by the dining room (formerly morning room) and drawing room; the latter a fine white and gold room. One chimneypiece was supplied by John Bossom of Greenwich in 1740. A secondary stair remains from the house of c.1679. Blomfield carried out unidentified alterations for General Adlercron after he bought the house in c.1901. The gardens may have been laid out in the early 18th century with the advice of Stephen Switzer, but the present layout by Blomfield dates from 1912. A freestanding chapel with a (then rare) pedimented temple front was erected in 1691, perhaps by William Stanton; its facade as been re-erected at the end of the east ride in a wood close to the road from Culverthorpe to Rauceby.
