The house is limestone with heraldic plaques in the centre of the top floor.

He is listed as a Cromwellian Adventurer and at least some of his lands were taken from the Kilkenny local Shee family.

Like his father he was a member of the Irish House of Commons, elected for the constituency of Kilkenny City in 1761.
