Appraisal
A fine well-proportioned Early Georgian house set back from the road which retains its dignified presence. The house was built by Rev. Canon Thomas Mosse who was Rector of Maryborough between 1691-1731. His son Dr. Bartholomew Mosse, founder of the Dublin Rotunda Hospital, was born here in 1712, attributing additional historic importance to it.
