Place & story
The house and the village green
Maxwell J Boyle acquired Tullyvin demesne from the Moore family in the early nineteenth century and rebuilt the house around 1820. The Italianate building has a Doric entrance porch, broad eaves and sash windows. Its gates, outbuildings and walled garden form part of an estate composition that includes the neighbouring village, arranged around a triangular green. [2]
The former Garda station
A new Garda station was built east of Tullyvin village in 1931. Its single-storey, L-shaped plan combines a symmetrical public front with less formal elevations elsewhere. Rendered pilasters and an open pediment frame the entrance, while brick details enliven the otherwise restrained walls. The building illustrates the care given to a small rural station that combined administrative and residential functions. [3]
