Old Estate
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "During the civil war which followed the revolution many of the larger homes were destroyed. This drove much of the capital from the country to England. Furthermore, it left a situation which the Free State Government has generously faced -- that of appraising the loss and of reorganizing the land to provide more family enterprises. This 1700 acre estate, near Thurles, was owned by Captain Clark, an Englishman. It was appraised and purchased by the Land Commission for 20,000 pounds or about $97,000."
