1907 – Semi-detached Houses, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal

Design for a pair of semi-detached houses, obviously intended for affluent owners with a servant. F.G. Townsend was a local engineer, who was born in Abersychan, Wales, in 1875 or 1876. He came to Ireland in the later 1890s, to work on the Buncrana to Carndonagh railway in Co. Donegal and also on the Burtonport and Ballyshannon extensions. After living for a time in Ballyshannon, he moved to Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh around 1916.
