Gated Community

One of three nearly identical houses on a rarely used road outside of Kilmaine, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Yes, that gate is not parallel to the house; the house itself is not parallel to the road it faces. EDIT: The plan, scale and form of this house are typical of the work of the Congested District Board, which was established in the latter part of the nineteenth century to improve housing conditions.
