Exterior Description And Setting

This building was surveyed in the First Survey but not listed. Only a Partial Survey was taken during the Second Survey as it is not of sufficient interest to warrant a full Second Survey. Long, relatively low two-storey block of probable mid to later 18th century construction, formerly containing two houses, now converted to a museum ('The Museum of Orange Heritage') and coffee shop; as such the block has been considerably altered and extended. Plaque to front reads: "This tablet was placed here by the Imperial Grand Orange Council of the World 13th July 1937 to mark the birthplace of the first lodge of the Loyal Orange Institute of Ireland following the Battle of the Diamond, 21st September 1795. Fear God, Honour the King, Love the Brotherhood." The building is located within Loughgall Conservation Area.
