Woodstown House
Woodstown House ( Irish Teach Bhaile na Coille ) is a country house in the townland Woodstown Lower ( Baile na Coille Íochtarach ) to the east of the Irish County Waterford .
history
The current house was built in 1823 in the Regency style, but presumably contains wall parts of an earlier house from the 1720s. Robert Shapland Carew had it built according to plans attributed to George Richard Pain (1793–1838).
In 1834 Robert Carew was promoted to Baron Carew and Woodstown House became his family home.
At the time the Irish Tourist Association was surveyed in 1945, the home belonged to the Hearne family but was uninhabited. It was later rented out to visitors, e.g. B. 1967 to Jacqueline Kennedy , widow of US President John F. Kennedy , and her children.
