Place & story
The working estate courtyard
The former Stradone House farmyard at Drumlaunaght comprises ranges of two-storey buildings around a courtyard. The architectural inventory dates them to 1828–35 and attributes them to J. B. Keane for Major Burrowes. Stone walls, brick-edged openings and four cut-stone arches distinguish the surviving working buildings from the vanished mansion they once served. [2]
Arts and Crafts at Larah
A house built at Larah in 1921 represents a different architectural approach. Its L-shaped plan, projecting gables and tall decorated brick chimneys draw on Arts and Crafts design. An open canopy shelters the entrance, while broad eaves expose roof timbers. The inventory records a distinctive early twentieth-century house near Larah crossroads. [3]
The former Garda station
At Corraneary, the former Garda station has a cruciform plan and a projecting central bay. The architectural inventory dates its construction to 1926, while suggesting that it reused part of an earlier constabulary barracks. Slate roofing, paired brick chimneys and sash windows survive in the recorded building. The station closed in 2002. [4]
