Glenville House Glenville House on Maypark Lane, Waterford was a 19th century house built in a Italianate style. Annabel Davis Goff wrote of Glenville where she grew up "Glenville was an Italianate mid-nineteenth-century house about a mile and a half outside of Waterford, overlooking the river Suir. It was not architecturally beautiful in the way that many Irish houses are. Its date was wrong for that but it was large and pleasant. Apart from the main house and the walled garden, there were two lodges - one at the front gate, one at the back - a couple of fruit gardens, good stabling, small kennels and enough paddocks for grazing a few hunters and a cow or two. It was not an estate of even a farm. It was a carefully thought-out, upper-middle-class residence for a family that had civilized tastes and plenty of money to indulge them" (14-15). Glenville was damaged by fire and It was sold in 1957 to a Dairy plant.
