Place & story
A town across district boundaries
The published 1911 census explains that Ninemilehouse town extended across district boundaries, with one portion in Garrangibbon. Its combined population was 69, occupying an estimated fourteen acres. These figures describe the whole town, rather than only its Templemichael portion. [2]
A shopfront photograph
Tipperary Studies preserves a photograph of three people outside a Ninemilehouse shop, including John Quinn in a trap. The archive dates it to the early twentieth century and identifies it as part of the John Quinn collection. [3]
