Belcamp House, Georgian mansion in Balgriffin, Ireland

The three-story structure displays a rusticated granite ground floor facade and features an oval room at the rear overlooking Ireland's Eye.

James Hoban, who later designed the White House in Washington D.C., constructed this residence in 1785 for Sir Edward Newenham.

The Gothic Revival chapel from 1903 contained stained glass windows created by Irish artist Harry Clarke before their removal for preservation.

The property includes natural water features such as the Turnapin Stream and two ponds that served the estate's water management needs.

Sir Edward Newenham built a miniature castle in the garden dedicated to George Washington, considered the first monument to him during his lifetime.
