Some History:
Moore Hall, or Moorehall, the house and estate of George Henry Moore and family, is situated in the barony of Carra, County Mayo in a karst limestone landscape. The Moores were an aristocratic Irish family who built Moore Hall between 1792 and 1795. The first Moore of Moore Hall was George Moore, a name borne by many members of the family down the generations. The Moores were originally an English Protestant family but some became Catholic when John Moore married the Catholic Jane Lynch Athy of Galway, and when their son, George, married Katherine de Kilikelly (really Kelly), an Irish-Spanish Catholic, in 1765. [1] [2]The ruins of the Moore family’s large stately home, Moore Hall, lie on Muckloon Hill overlooking Lough Carra. [3] The house was designed by John Roberts, an architect from Waterford who also designed Tyrone House in Co. Galway, and Waterford Cathedral. Several members of the Moore family played major parts in the social, cultural and political history of Ireland from the end of the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The house was burned down in 1923 by anti-Treaty irregular forces during the Irish Civil War because Maurice Moore was viewed as pro-Treaty.
Just my opinion: respect for film taken pictures, some pictures are good as just pictures, but not as architectural. You wrote pre-history that’s very informative and make sense. Keep doing it, I wish to see some more history about all your taken pictures. Make them interesting for audience with applied historical facts.
thanks! whats involved in taking an architectural picture? sorry! im still only learning the basics! is this a strictly architecural pictures section? sorry if it is!
picture no. 7 is/was the water tank i think, for collecting the rainwater off the roof of the building..
Its a fascinating place! and well worth a look around! plenty of outbuildings around it and the tunnel to the rear courtyard is an interesting feature. its open to the public and owned by coillte i think?Hard to believe its your first time. 3 & 7 for me also. 7 in particular.
Keep up the work :)
