Exterior Description And Setting

Relatively small and relatively plain two storey terrace house of perhaps c.1870s, built as part of a larger block which contains another larger house and a carriage arch. The house is set on the N side of Killyleagh Street, close to the centre of the small town of Crossgar. The front façade faces S and is asymmetrical. To the right is the entrance which consists of a partly glazed door with plain surround with moulded keystone. To the left is a window with modern frame (made to resemble the original sash one) and plain surround. To the first floor are two similar windows. The front façade is finished in rough cast with in/out quoins. To the rear the ground floor is completely covered by a modern looking flat roofed extension. To the first floor are two windows with sash frames with vertical glazing bars. The rear façade is finished in a recently applied dry dash. The gabled roof is covered in natural slate with two yellow brick chimneys. The rw goods appear to be mainly metal.

Historical Information

The 1859 valuation town plan of Crossgar (which contains annotations of c.1900) indicates that this block was built some time after the former date. Judging from the style of the block it is possible that it may date from c.1870-80. The current owner believes it was originally used as the local police station, but map evidence suggests that up until the latter half of the 20th century, this was always sited in Downpatrick Street.
