Appraisal
Though derelict, Millmount House, situated on an elevated site overlooking the mill, is of architectural detailing and design. The use of a variety of materials such as stone, brick, timber, slate and terracotta add textual variation to the structure. This house, through its association with the mill, is of social importance to the town of Boyle.
