Lissadell House is a neo-classical Greek revivalist style country house, located in County Sligo, Ireland. The house was built between 1830 to 1835, and inhabited from 1833 onwards, for Sir Robert Gore-Booth, 4th Baronet (1784-1835) by London architect Francis Goodwin. In 1876, Sir Robert left the house and surrounding estate to his son, Sir Henry Gore-Booth, 5th Baronet. ==Architecture== Described as "austere in the extreme"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lissadell House, County Sligo: Buildings of Ireland: National Inventory of Architectural Heritage )〕 Lissadell house is a Greek Revival style detached nine-bay, two-storey over basement mansion, the last one in this style to be built in Ireland. Constructed of Ballysadare limestone with finely jointed ashlar walling. An entrance front is on the north with a three-bay pedimented central projection, originally open to east and west to form porte-cochere. Prior to its sale in 2003 Lissadell was the only house in Ireland to retain its original Williams & Gibton furniture which was made especially for the house and designed to harmonise with Goodwin's architectural vision. Lissadell's was the first country house in Ireland to have an independent gas supply piped into the property.〔http://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2003/dec/06/lights-out-–-but-lissadell-sale-on/#sthash.KyHKoh1a.dpuf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lissadell House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
