Why it mattered
Drumreaske — TULLYCROMAN matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This modest but attractive gate lodge is enlivened and enhanced by decorative timber bargeboards and finials and tooled stone crests, which add an artistic touch to the site in keeping with its gabled form. The varied small-pane timber sliding sash windows add further interest. Formerly the gate lodge for Drumreaske estate, this building forms a pleasant eye-catcher on the roadside. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
