Appraisal
Croom House, formerly known as Kings is an important house within the architectural heritage of Limerick County. Architectural details such as the pillared porch underline the architectural significance of the house. The well-known Gothic Revival church architect, J.J. McCarthy, carried out alterations, in 1880, for Henry Lyons. The clerk of works for this work was P.F. Monahan and the builder was J.S. Ryan & Son, of Waterford.
