Course Description:

The big houses of Ireland punctuate the landscape as ruined shells, country hotels and family homes. This three-part course will look at how they came to be, and how they live on as ghosts of the past or relics of an era of privilege and servitude. We will survey their
design and funding, as well as examine the lives of the Irish whose labor made them possible.

 

Tuition: $35.00

Additional Fees: $0.00
