Appraisal
This simple house has been sensitively restored and retains much of its original form and character. This terrace was known as the 'White Row' and forms part of Mullan mill complex, having been built to accommodate the workers of the flax mill in the nineteenth century. It is representative of the mill villages which were constructed in Ulster throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, providing both housing and public buildings. The scale and form of the terrace make an interesting feature within the predominantly rural landscape.
