Description

Midnight Haunt, 90 Main Street, Moira, is a two-storey Georgian mid-terrace townhouse complex comprising a single-bay and two-bay section, dated 1735. The building now functions as a single commercial premises.

The structure is constructed of roughcast-rendered walls with a pitched natural slate roof featuring clay ridge tiles. Red brick chimneys without pots are present. Guttering comprises replacement uPVC with a cast-iron semi-octagonal hopper-head and cast-iron circular downpipes.

The south-east-facing principal elevation is asymmetrically arranged, reflecting its origin as two separate dwellings. The right dwelling contains a replacement timber front door at ground floor with a large ground floor window to its right, and a bi-partite first floor window. The left dwelling has a decommissioned front door which has been blocked up and rendered over, with a large window to the left and a smaller window to the right on the ground floor. The first floor features a bi-partite window to the left and a single window to the right. The ground floor windows are fitted with replacement timber casement frames and have fixed canopies. The first floor retains 2/2 timber sliding sash windows with horizontal glazing bars and horns, set within smooth plaster surrounds with masonry cills. Modern side-hung projected signage is mounted at first floor level. A date plaque inscribed with the initials "HIM" and "1735" is centrally located on the ground floor.

The left gable abuts the adjoining building (HB19/22/023). The rear elevation has been extensively altered with a single-storey lean-to structure at ground floor level, a flat roof extension dating to around 1980, and an abutting single-storey pitch-roofed outbuilding which has undergone considerable alteration. First floor window openings on the rear elevation have been blocked up. Remains of three diminished attic openings are visible beneath eaves level. The right gable abuts the adjoining building (HB19/22/025).

The building's exterior has undergone significant alteration including removal of the front door (left section), replacement of ground floor windows, and addition of modern signage. The ground floor and much of the first floor have been substantially modified internally.

Architecturally, the building is plausibly dated to the early eighteenth century, forming part of a terrace of similar date. The Rawdon family is credited with developing Moira from mud and clay dwellings to stone and brick buildings during the mid-eighteenth century. By 1744, when visited by Harris, Moira was described as "a well laid out and thriving village consisting of one broad street inhabited by many traders, many of whom carry on linen manufacture to good advantage." A building is shown on this site in the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1833. By 1837, Lewis's survey noted that linen manufacture had declined in the town, though it remained "well built, and remarkably clean." No significant changes are shown on subsequent Ordnance Survey editions. The building could not be identified in Griffith's Valuation or early twentieth-century census records. It is now in commercial use.

The building forms part of the overall two-storey Georgian terraces which largely comprise the lower part of the town. A rear yard is accessed via a carriage-way associated with the adjacent property (HB19/22/025) and contains several historic outbuildings which have undergone varying degrees of alteration.

Although of local interest as a dated plaque marking the early development of Moira, the building is not considered of special architectural or historical interest and does not meet the criteria for listing.
