Harristown
Harristown, near Punchestown in County Kildare, is a refined late Georgian neo-classical house of cut stone. It stands beside the River Liffey which flows though its picturesque, heavily wooded demesne in the western foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. The house, which has been attributed to the little-known architect Whitmore Davis, who also designed Charleville near Enniskerry, was accidentally destroyed by fire in 1901. The restoration was overseen by the High Victorian architect, James Franklin Fuller, who removed the upper storey but sadly failed to replicate the original late Georgian interiors.
