Arson-gutted wing at Lurgan’s Brownlow House to be restored as ‘wedding and conference’ venue
Plus, Santa presents wrapped or unwrapped?
Good morning. We lead this morning’s newsletter with a good news story on the potential refurbishment of an arson-gutted wing at Lurgan’s Brownlow House.
The wing – gutted in an arson attack in the mid-1990s – could be restored as a wedding and conference venue.
The 'Family Wing' of the stately property on Windsor Avenue has been left derelict since the heartbreaking attack on a cultural landmark.
But now it could be given a new lease of life and rise from the ashes once more.
Proposals have been drawn up by the Brownlow House Community Interest Company, which would see a significant investment and restoration of an important Co Armagh building, designed by Edinburgh-based architect William Henry Playfair in the 1830's.
Two applications – one seeking listed building consent – have been placed before ABC Council for consideration. Read the full story here.
And before we go any further, can you help with our office debate….
