Ancestral Homes : Cushina, County Offaly

This old Irish farmhouse, in Cushina, County Offaly, Ireland was home for my Murray ancestors. Joseph Murray (1869-1939) younger brother of my great great grandmother, Agnes Murray, lived here. Agnes immigrated to America in the 1880s and the rest of the Murray clan remained home in County Offaly.

Below is another old Irish farmhouse in Cushina. Home of John Murray (1865-1932). Another brother of Agnes Murray. I wonder if he is seated in the chair? Supposedly his son-in-law, James Whelehan, is in the photo. Also, I am curious if these homes are still standing? Picture dates to the late 1920s or early 1930s.
