Tyrone House, Georgian manor ruins in Kilcolgan, Ireland
The limestone structure rises three floors above a basement, standing on a promontory near the Kilcolgan river estuary in County Galway.
Built in 1779 for Christopher St George, the house met destruction during the Irish War of Independence when local IRA forces burned it in 1920.
The deteriorating mansion inspired Edith Somerville to write The Big House at Inver, published in 1925, reflecting Ireland's changing social landscape.
The Irish Georgian Society holds ownership of the ruins, which stand at coordinates 53.207019 latitude and -8.909472 longitude near Kilcolgan village.
Many architectural elements, including fireplaces and arches, were removed from the original structure and reused in neighboring buildings over the centuries.
