Originally named Ardmore House, then Monea House, became an estate house for the Bagge family. In the 1850s Simon Bagge was leasing this house from the Ecclesistical Commissioners of Ireland so this may have originally been a rectory.
Built in two stages - the eastern section (left hand side in the picture above)was built as an accommodation block for Coláiste Deuglán in 1922. Subsequently bought by the Mercy nuns of Dungarvan and latterly converted to a hotel by Michael Ronayne.
Occupied by Patrick Crowley N.T. principal teacher in Ardmore 1903-1929. He as related to General Michael Collins. His wife was a Fitzgerald from the Listigue/Ballinamona family and she had the post office here after the Allin’s c.1922.
Originally, owned by the Odell's, bought by a Mrs Barry (nee Dwyer) who brought the first order of Mercy nuns to Ardmore (from Cappoquinn) in 1900. It is shown in a 1905 map as a convent.
William Foley lived here in 1911 and we have no record of who lived here in 1916. This William Foley may have owned ‘Murphy’s Cottage’ on Main Street, at some time.
Occupied by Dr Tim Foley (GP) & his sister Annie in 1911. Mary Donovan, a Waterford woman, was their cook/domestic servant, and at the time of the census their 9 year old niece, Kathleen Sullivan, also lived in this house.
