house — GARTNANEANE matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A small house of standardised design of the type built by local authorities from 1883 onwards under the Labourers Acts, their form and siting derived from vernacular traditions. The house is characteristed by a simplicity of form retaining much of its historic fabric including the sash windows in characteristic arrangement with upper level gable windows, and a timber door. It is a good example of a building type which has become an identifying feature of the Irish countryside, making a strong contribution to the landscape setting to the west of Bailieborough. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
