Strokestown HouseIn
1969, OCA was appointed by Mrs Hales Pakenham-Mahon to advise on the
re-development and restoration of Strokestown House in a sensitive way.
As a result of OCA advices most of the original building was protected
from so-called modern development, so that when Mr James Callery decided to
refurbish the house, with OCAs assistance, the former glories of the kitchen and
other parts were revealed in full. OCA
has surveyed and advised on the development of the present house over the last
few decades. Strokestown House is
now open to the public and in the former farm buildings is now housed the
“Famine Memorial”. OCA’s
worrk was completed, prior to that of Orna Hanley. Promoter : Mrs Hales Pakenham-Mahon
