Ormond View — BALLYCROSSAUN matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The hipped roof with paired chimneystacks, vertically oriented windows and decorative fanlighted door are all typical features of middle-sized rural houses of the mid-nineteenth century. The retention of timber sash windows and the fine double-leaf door enhances the elevation and gives a patina of age. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
