“There was a beautiful hotel situated about 100 yards from Lahinch, and it was burned to the ground on the month of March 1934.”
(continued from previous page)During these five or six hours the blaze was seen for miles around, and many people came to see what was burning. Great efforts were made to save furniture, but most of it was burned.
This hotel was sometimes called the Norwegian hotel as it was built by a Norwegian company.
The owner, Mr. Edward O'Dwyer, was compensated for it.
