Lough Park House.

Griffiths Valuation will give you names for 1859 I think the print date was, I can't check it on iPad

Just put in Loughpark and choose Westmeath. You'll can guess which was the big house by the value on the original image.

It was in the Evans family (Griffith's shows a Michael Evans in situ), plenty online about them, eg:

If I'm right, the 1901 census indicates 13 windows at the front of the house and 17 rooms occupied:

While the 1911 census indicates 9 windows at the front and 14 rooms occupied:

Maybe the difference in windows is simply due to inclusion / non inclusion of the two flanks as seen in these photos:
