1779 – Culdaff House, Culdaff, Co. Donegal
A three-storey Georgian house, of 1779, built for George Young. Probably replaced an earlier house in the area as Robert Young first arrived in 1640 as rector of Culdaff Parish. The Young family remained in ownership of the estate until into the twentieth century. It was burnt out by the IRA in 1922, and rebuilt in 1926. The house was further re-modelled in 1950, when the original frontage was removed and a former service wing converted for use as the main house.
