It is located off Glenarme Road - Sir Hugh Smiley died at Drumalis House on 1st March 1909 but his wife Elizabeth continued to live there. It is soon after Sir Hugh's death that the house takes its place in Irish history because the famous 1914 U.V.F. "gun-running" operation that took place in Northern Ireland was actually plotted and expedited around the table in the dining room of Drumalis House. There is a monument to the event along Chaine Memorial Road Image] More at http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/yourplaceandmine/antrim/A1127693.shtml
