Mary Leahy House, Listowel, County Kerry

Mary Leahy was born here and lived in the house until she left for America in about 1898.  Mary's brother John lived here his entire life and is still remembered by some of the neighbors.   The house is on the Balygalogue Road across from the Dromin Estate (see photo of Dromin) about two miles north of Listowel.  Take a left on Balygalogue from the top of Church Street (there is a fairly new gas station on the corner) and proceed about a mile and a half. The house is on the right about 100 yards before you reach the Dromin Estate.   There is a lot of new construction going up nearby so you better go soon.
