About
Colonel Henry Ievers built Mount Ievers Court in County Clare, begun in 1736, which is one of the most admired houses in Ireland: tall, plain, perfectly proportioned, and said to have cost the family more than it could comfortably afford. It still stands, and it is still in the family's hands.
