description
The exact time of construction of the building has not been handed down, so that only the later 18th century can be given as the construction period. It is thus one of the early buildings of the planned town, founded around 1770, which were built near the coastline of Loch Indaal . The two-story building corresponds to the traditional construction. The house, built of quarry stone, has two entrance doors. These are framed by four windows on the ground floor and three on the upper floor. It ends with a slate-covered gable roof . The facades are plastered. A one-story extension with a loft was added at the rear. There is a spiral staircase with a semi-conical roof.
