Assessment
Springfield House, a protected structure,
is a modest almost vernacular Georgian farmhouse, which
nonetheless contains material of considerable quality and
real historical interest.
 |
Interventions in
recent years have been, for most part, minimal and sensitive
to the modest importance of the structure and its vulnerable
history. The variety of joinery, fixtures and fittings,
throughout the interior indicates a number of revisions
which took place with the house immediately after the
house was first built and on a numerous occasions in
the ensuing years. |
The benign stewardship of the house
in recent years has guaranteed that this varied earlier
building history has been preserved more or less intact
today. The house is thus an important example of the middle
size Irish Georgian House.
