The Count's House
The Count's House is named after 'Count' Joseph Boruwlaski, who lived from 1739 to 1837. Originally from Poland, he lived and died in Durham. His house was Bank's Cottage - formerly known as Callamanco Hall, which was next door to what is now the Durham Little Count's House. Durham Count's House is actually a folly - a building erected for the sole purpose of looking nice in a rural setting and usually made to look like a forgotten piece of history.
