Parsonstown (Birr)
The station (now gone) was on the S side of the town, at Seefin, at the bottom of Railway Road (see 1887 to 1913 map and modern map).See street view.
The old map shows a house, "Railview Cottage", on Military Rd. Wonder if this is the station master's house. This seems to be it on modern street view.

Blennerhassett Cashel would have lived here when he was station master.

There may have been a station master's house separate to this building, which looks more like
a building for passengers and offices.
