List all houses

House name	Description	Image(s)
Oakley Park	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Cunningham was leasing a house valued at £13 at Gowil, parish of Lickmolassy, to Anne Shewbridge. This appears to be the house known as Oakley Park, occupied in the 1870s by the Pigot family.
Oakmount	Built post 1838 and occupied by Edward Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
Oakport	Oakport was the home of the Reverend William French, fourth son of John French of French Park, in the early 18th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Oakport House, the property of Thomas William Goff, is recorded as "unoccupied".
Oatfield	Oatfield House, owned by John Longworth , was vacant at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis had recorded it as the seat of Major Lynch even though this house had been in the possession of the Longworth family since at least 1814. The Ordnance Survey Field name books also record it as the residence of Major Lynch. In 1783 Taylor & Skinner recorded Oatfield as a property of the Brabazon family. By 1906 it was the property of Edward Longworth. Buildings are still extant on the site although it unclear whether the original house is there or not.
Oghil	Oghil house is recorded in the OS Name Books as being built in the 1740s, though McTernan states that the existing house dates from the late 1830s. At both the time of Griffith's Valuation and in 1906 it was the property of Robert W. Armstrong and was valued at £17. It later served as the parochial house but is now a family home again. See http://www.westsligo.com/culleens/historyoghillhse.htm for more details.
Oghil	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Allan Pollok held a property at Oghil More townland, parish of Clonfert, on which a house was in progress, together with a mill and other buildings. The property stood on 368 acres. The mill building was demolished during the later twentieth century.
Oghilly	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Michael Page was leasing a house at Oghilly, parish of Ballynakill, barony of Leitrim, county Galway from the Clanricarde estate. It was valued at £9.
Old Castle	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Robert Rogers & others were leasing a property at Kingsfort, barony of Tirerrill, to John Gardiner. It was valued at £10. McTernan states that this property was originally part of the Mitchell estate and later became a police barracks. It was demolished in the 1990s.
Old Rock	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Trumble was leasing a property valued at £4 at Old Rock, barony of Corran, from Johnston Parke. McTernan states that John Trumble eventually disposed of his interest in this property and settled in Manchester.
Oldcastle	Built by the McJordans of Ballylahan in the late 18th century. There are modern buildings at the site now.
Oldhead	Part of an estate bought by John Browne 3rd Earl of Altamont in 1794 this house, situated very close to the seashore, was let to various persons during the 19th century including Isidore Blake, Rev Francis Ruttledge and Hugh Wilbraham. In 1936 the house was sold to John Gardner of Lackafinna, Cong, county Mayo. It later became a hotel and is now the centre of a holiday village.
Oldtown	A single storey house until the early 20th century when a second storey was added to part of the house. Occupied by the Bourkes from the 18th century until the 1920s and then by the Curran family. Restored by the present owner in the late 1990s.
Oory/Coarsefield	It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into 2 townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield close to the present house and it is believed that this was Oory house, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 Course-field belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house.
Oran Castle	In 1814 and again in 1837 Oranmore Castle is recorded as the seat of Walter Blake. At the time of Griffith's Valuation he was leasing a property, valued at £10, in Oranmore townland, to Martin Grady. Pádraig Lane writes that Walter Blake sold Oran Castle to James Dillon Meldon.
Oranbeg	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Oranbeg was leased by the Fitzgerald Vesey estate to George Hill.
Orme's Lodge	Robert Orme was the owner of several properties in the village of Enniscrone, Carrowhubbuck South, barony of Tireragh, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. These properties had valuations of between £12 and £20. McTernan notes that one of these was Orme's Lodge which remained in the family until the 1930s. It subsequently became a hotel and was demolished in the 1990s to make way for new house building.
Ormond View	The representatives of Redmond Dolphin were leasing a property at Ballycrossaun, barony of Longford, to John D. Lemon at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £12. Hogan states that this house was formerly known as Waterview. There is still an extant house at the site.
Owenmore or Millbrook	Ordnance Survey Field Name Books record a 'neat cottage' in the townland of Correens, built in 1796 and called Millbrook. Irish Tourist Association File records Owenmore as the residence of the Misses Knox in 1942, erected about 1830 by the Orme family. The house belonged to the McCausland family in the latter part of the 20th century. Now owned by Gerry O'Mara.
Ower	The Burke family home, leased to Colonel Beddington in the 1920s.
Oxfield	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Oxfield House was the caretaker's residence for the plantation of over 150 acres owned by the Gore Booth estate at Cullaghmore, barony of Carbury.
