Rahilly house, The Square, Listowel, Co.Kerry

Number 6, The Square, Listowel, Co.Kerry.
Thomas Francis Rahilly and family lived here from 1881.
Thomas Francis died here in 1899.
His widow apparently left the house in 1899. Definitely gone by 1901.

This is NOT the modern number 6.
The buildings have been re-numbered.
The Rahilly house is on the W side of The Square, in the line including the Listowel Arms Hotel.
There is now a plaque to the Rahillys at the house.
