Why it mattered
house — KILLACLOYNE matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A pleasing composition, this house forms a pair with its neighbour to the west. Possibly built by the incumbents of Killahora House for its workers, this example retains its original materials, character and form. Features such as the timber detailing in the gable as well as the series of timber sliding sash windows evoke the arts & crafts movement popular in fashionable circles at the beginning of the twentieth century. A significant addition to the architectural heritage of the area. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
