Appraisal
Lisnagoorneen House, built by George Foster Delaney, is enhanced by the retention of features such as the ornate render surrounds to the windows, limestone sills, and porch. The porch, which retains its decorative Venetian window and ornate door surrounds, is an attractive later addition. The building, in conjunction with its notable outbuildings, form an interesting group of structures.
