These houses are not relocated, instead they are renovated.
House on the left is where Jack (Champ) Malone and his family lived. The house was originally given to Jack’s in-laws, Nancy and Charlie Chambers snr in the 1940s when they retired as house parents at the Girls Dormitory. Mr William (Bumper) Hegarty snr and his family live in the next house.
