[Ambard's House] (Roomor)

Abstract

Ambard's House was constructed by Lucien F. Ambard in 1904 as a family residence. It was designed by a French architect. Most of the materials used in construction were imported, the marble from Italy, the tiles from France and the cast iron elements from Scotland. The wood for the rafters came from an estate in Erin owned by the Ambard family. The name Roomor is a combination of two family names, Roodal and Morgan. Ambard's House, the only one of the "Magnificent Seven" houses to remain as a private residence.
