The Creagh House was built in 1875 by Colonel Charles Howe Cuff Knox, one of the big landlords in the area. In 1924 the Creagh estate became a TB sanatorium. Reduced in size in the 1930s by fire, when part of it was demolished, there still remains today a sizeable period house of around 6000 square feet. The Craigh House is in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.

I would have liked to see what the books were. Books and a beer :)
This served as part of the sanatorium, maybe for the patients to be examined or quarantined.
Here is an old photo of what the Creagh House looked back in the day; Photo courtesy of the
