The Viceroy
Impressively lit by a large Diocletian widow, the half-octagon shape of the Viceroy's Room is particularly pleasing and exemplifies the subtle manipulation of space for which the Morrisons, Ballyfin’s architects, are famous for. The Viceroy room features a double bathroom and is situated in the former kitchen wing and so benefits from additional seclusion and privacy.
The room is a delight during the daytime with light pouring in through the Diocletian window overlooking the courtyard. Notable among the room's furnishings is a fine portrait of a young boy by Trevor Thomas Fowler (b.1810) an Irish Artist who, having been shipwrecked off the coast of Jamaica, made a successful career in the United States.
Named in honour of The Earl of Aberdeen - the Viceroy or Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
The room is named for John Campbell Gordon, 7th Earl of Aberdeen and his wife, lady Ishbel who visited Ballyfin in 1911, mid-way through Aberdeen's second term as Viceroy, or Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The sociable viceregal couple, known as Jumping Jack and Blowsy Bella, were popularly regarded for their philanthropy largely instituted under Lady Ishbels influence.
