Description

Macedon House was a two-storey rendered house situated on Shore Road, Newtownabbey, Co Antrim. Alexander George Stewart rebuilt an earlier house and named it Macedon in order to style himself "Alexander of Macedon." The house was sold in 1802 to Cunningham Greg, who subsequently added to it. Later occupants included John Cunningham, James Cunningham J.P., and William Henry McLaughlin in 1902, and it was also used as Dr Barnardo's House.

The six-bay façade of the building broke forward at the centre and was fronted by a porch with two canopies. The lower windows on the façade were Georgian sash windows, while the upper windows were casement type. A pergola was located on either side of the porch. The slated roof featured five gables on the south elevation, which was also distinguished by a canopy supported by brackets and balconies at first-floor level on the outer bays. The north side retained an aedicule with windows above at the corner. A courtyard at the rear was accessed through an elliptical archway.

Internally, the house featured moulded plaster ceilings, a cast iron stair balustrade, and a landing with decorative elements including Gothic detailing, depictions of Royal Arms, and further unspecified ornamentation. A porch and central crenellation were added after 1909.
