Avondale House| 18th-century house, 2 km/1 mi south of Rathdrum, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland. It was built in 1779 for Samuel Hayes and possibly designed by James Watt, although Hayes himself was an amateur architect. Avondale contains some superb plasterwork, especially in the drawing room, which some attribute to James Wyatt, and has a fine two-storey hall with a gallery. It was the birthplace of Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish nationalist leader. The house is now a museum. |
