Why it mattered
Coolantallagh House matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The difference in roof heights, the projecting gables and the lean-to projections add interest to the two main elevations of this house. The defined massing and visible separation of interior space are evidence of the influence of the Gothic Revival and the Arts and Crafts movements. The fine decoration in the form of ridge crestings and finials is typical of the craftsmanship and design detailing of the early twentieth century. The house retains its timber sash windows, giving it a patina of age and textural interest. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
