Historical Information

As both north and south lodges are referred to in Griffiths 1858 Valuation they are pre mid-century. Dean suggests this lodge is 20 years earlier than south lodge ( circa 1830) though it does not appear on the 1st Edition OS map. The architect, Fitzgibbon Louch, worked on the main house (HB01/27/015) and may have had an influence on this building. (July '99: since the second survey visit this building has been partly demolished- the front wall has been knocked in and the roof is collapsing over. ) References: Primary Sources: OS Map 1st Edition 1830 Co Londonderry 14 OS Map 2nd Edition 1853 Co Londonderry 14 OS Map 1904-5 Revision Co Londonderry 14A Ornance Survey Memoirs Parish of Templemore ( OS 1837) Griffiths Valuation 1858 Secondary Sources: JAK Dean ' The Gate Lodges of Ulster- a gazetteer' p111 HT Heart ' The family history of Heart of Donegal.'
