The old gatelodge to the Bishop's Palace. Raphoe, Co Donegal

Built in the 17th Century, at the entrance to the grounds of the Bishop's Palace. This house was actually lived in until a few years ago.

 

Electricity was supplied via a pole in the street outside. The UHF and VHF ariels for the old analogue television reception are still standing tall.

 

It may not be an elegant building, but it is deceptively bigger than many gatelodges, having quite a sturdy strucure and a charm about it that attracts.
