The house was built between 1792 and 1796 by wine merchant George Moore and remained occupied until 1910. It was destroyed during the Irish Civil War in 1923.

During the Great Famine of 1846, owner George Henry Moore used his horse racing winnings to provide food for all tenants on the estate. This action set the family apart from many other landlords during that crisis.
