Danagher House

Above is the Danagher house.
It also survives and is located on the estate of Ashford Castle.
Just the same except in the film there was no glass porch at the front door.

As it is today............Photograph by Mike Ward

This beautiful house is exactaly how it looks today as it did in the movie back in 1951
Its located on the grounds of Ashford Castle , and is very well taken care of
by the lovely MAY AND JOE MURPHY ,
[ i hasten to add the house is not open to the public at any time and is strictly private ]
With special thanks to Mike Ward of Save The Quiet Man Cottage

If you look in the background you can see one of the female crew
with the coat over her shoulders no doubt ready to pass to Maureen once the scene was shot.

Is this Maureen or her stand-in Etta??
or is it Maureen, our friends in Ireland are not sure either!

Personally I think it's Maureen
