		In 1969, OCA was appointed by Mrs Hales Pakenham-Mahon to advise on the re-development and restoration of Strokestown House in a sensitive way.
		As a result of OCA advices most of the original building was protected from so-called modern development, so that when Mr James Callery decided to refurbish the house, with OCAs assistance, the former glories of the kitchen and other parts were revealed in full.
		Strokestown House is now open to the public and in the former farm buildings is now housed the “Famine Memorial”.
