Butler House, Kilkenny, Dower house in Kilkenny, Ireland
Butler House stands as a three-bay, three-story Georgian residence with two bowed bays facing a walled garden adjacent to Kilkenny Castle.
The residence, completed in 1786, served as home to Lady Eleanor Butler after her husband Walter's death in 1783 and later housed the 19th Earl during castle renovations.
