“Sixty years  ago ( ~1940), the Main Street of Newport presented a thriving business scene, with Carey's shop, one of the largest of such premises in rural West of Ireland, providing the focal point.  Newport House Hotel was then known as Newport House, the private residence of a landed gentry family of O'Donnells, where an " Upstairs, Downstairs " tradition existed. The last link with the family was Thomas O'Donnell, who died around that time –  http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/7461/newport60.html
