The Cottage:
The cottage area represents the quintessential image of Ireland
to most Americans. Stone wall, floor, and fireplace, are important
elements to images of rural Ireland.
With this in mind stone was
imported from Valentia Island in County Kerry which had been used
for centuries in the south of Ireland in building and roofing
of cottages. In addition, stone masons from Ireland came to Boulder
to ensure the stone work would be identical to what would be found
in Ireland.
The Cottage is a popular room because of the homey feeling is has. It was not
uncommon for families living in rural areas (where it was too small for a Full-service
pub) to buy a barrel of beer and tap it in their "sitting room" giving it the
feel of a friend's living room.
Our second fireplace is in this room
with pieces of peat nearby. Peat is also called turf and is the
traditional fuel source of Ireland.
