Millview House

Detached three-bay two-storey rendered house, built c. 1890, with gable-fronted central entrance porch to north elevation and single-bay single-storey lean-to to rear (south). Building now used as museum within folk park. Pitched slate roof, unpainted smooth-rendered corbelled chimneystacks, painted timber barge boards, cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast walling, rubble stone base. Square-headed window openings, smooth-rendered reveals, limestone sills, painted two-over-two timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening to entrance porch, smooth-rendered reveals, limestone step, plain-glazed overlight, painted vertically-sheeted timber door. Set back from road in own grounds, rubble masonry boundary wall, wrought-iron gates to north-west, rubble stone outbuildings to east.

This simple house, with its plain façade and gable-fronted projecting entrance porch, is a good example of Irish vernacular building tradition. The house is a focal feature of Riverstown Folk Park. It retains significant amounts of original and early fabric.
