1008. Lissadell
A classical house of the 1830s distinguished more by its occupants than by its architecture. The artic explorer, Henry-Gore-Booth was born here in 1843 and so were his remarkable daughters, Eva, the poet, and Constance (Countess Markievicz) the revolutionary, who was elected first woman member of the British House of Commons in 1918, but took her seat in Dail Eireann (the Embryonic Irish Parliament) instead. The house is open to the public during the summer months.
