Description

Pitched slate roof with two chimneystacks, one rendered and one yellow brick, exposed rafters, and replacement rainwater goods. Lean-to slate roof to porch. Painted and rendered walls.

Appraisal
This modest, attractive building is a typical example of an early twentieth-century rural national school, common in Dún na nGall [County Donegal]. Although its use has been changed to domestic, it retains its original form and features, such as timber sliding sash windows. It retains social significance for the district.
