Excerpt from Sims Reeves
Neglect and desolation lay like a pall upon the shattered roof, damp mouldered walls, and rotting casements: no sound of human life broke the dreary silence: and after night had fallen, dire indeed was the necessity that induced dwellers in the neighbourhood to venture past the great entrance gates, now rusting and falling from their hinges. Yet, Rathmore House had once been the happy home of a family of old des cent, and in the time of Mr. Charles Rol liston, its last possessor, though, owing to its owner's fallen fortunes, it was be ginning to show signs of dilapidation: it was still the habitation of domestic peace.
