Emo Park, Portarlington, Co. Laois
From the mystery of S. Silk and the roofs of Galway to the grandeur and no mystery of Emo Park in County Laois - or as it was when this old pile was built "Queens County".
Today's investigations tell us that the image definitely dates after the 1860s development (which added the rotunda) and likely before the interior works undertaken by the Jesuits in the 1930s - which sits with the 1900-1920 catalogue range...
Photographer: Unknown
Collection: Eason Photographic Collection
Date: Between 1900 - 1920
