    Was driving up the R590 a couple of days ago and spotted this old building. Have any of you Cork folks any info on it?

    Thanks - I assumed that it was, but was wondering if there's any interesting history associated with it etc. It seems a very unusual building. It's ironic that in some places, the gate lodges are still standing, whereas the big houses have been reduced to charred rubble - after getting torched in the good old days. The Crookstown place seems to be the opposite.

    I live near there. TheDriver is right, its an old lodge, you can see the house up behind it, massive place altogether.

    Thanks, but do you know what the name of the big house is, or who lived there in the good old days?

    I know the family who live there.. I will check with them to see if they know any interisting facts/stories about it.
