Strawhall Estate was owned by Arundel Best, Esq, and he leased the estate to Henry Bruen who is also an occupier of the estate. Strawhall estate covers the Lunatic Asylum and the County Infirmary which are located on the Athy Road. James Heron, b.1831, lived and farmed Strawhall, Carlow. Strawhall House is a classical composition with a house flanked by wings. The main house has a five-bay, two storey façade over a basement. The roof is high-pitched with natural slates and has end stacks. The Walls have rough-cast in recent years but the windows retain single-pane, timber sashes. The round headed, limestone door case dates from the early 19th century and has a delicate architrave and is approached up a wide flight of steps. The wings have half-hexagon bows and contain tall windows. The single bay links to the wings contain round headed door cases similar to the main door case. The back of the house has been much altered. Across the yard is a fine range of stables which dates from the early 19th century and has a pedimented centre piece which formerly contained a tall carriage arch. The stables and house together make a very fine composition. The house dates from the mid 18th century having a high pitched roof and a rhythm to the fenestration, which dates from that period. It was remodelled and had the wings and stables added in the early 19th century – possible circa 1810. The house belonged to the Bruen Family who employed Sir Richard Morrison at Oak Park and it is possible that he had a hand in the remodelling of the house.
