The first thing that came to mind when we saw this image was a poster that was out and about some years ago of many Georgian Doors in Dublin. The colours, the decorations and the detail on the fanlights above the doors were a joy to see. Given the similarities in this shot another poster of doors throughout the country could easily be as big a hit? The Grange in Ballyragget, Co. Kilkenny is the subject of this image and one hopes that the building matches the sturdiness and detail of the door?

    As ever with the ITA, the question is why they thought this was a tourist attraction. From the NIAH: historic connections with the Stannard family including John Stannard (né Lannigan) (d. 1836); William Stannard (d. 1855); and Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Stannard (d. 1904) 'late of The Grange Ballyraggett sic County Kilkenny' (Calendars of Wills and Administrations 1907, 495)

    In the Similar Items sidebar of the catalogue, I see the castle, the square, a lodge, a moat and fair green, all in ballyragget and pictured in the ITA collection, so it is not this house in particular but the whole Ballyragget area being catalogued.

    Ah, looking at the 1911 form pdf, I see that she is E. Frances Stannard, the same woman.
