Place & story

Sash windows and stone gate piers

Drybridge House in Tullyallen is dated to about 1820 by the architectural inventory. Its five-bay, two-storey front retains sash windows, with wider three-part windows on the ground floor. A porch stands on the southern side. Attached and detached outbuildings extend the group to the west, while limestone gate piers with pyramidal caps and iron gates mark the roadside entrance. [2]
