Orange Hall, Lindesayville Road, Tullaghoge

A detached rendered two-storey Orange Hall built in 1892, located on the east side of Lindesayville Road at its junction with Desertcreat Road, east of Cookstown. The building is a well-proportioned and little-altered example of late nineteenth-century Orange Hall architecture, with important local social significance and a well-preserved original setting.

The rectangular-plan building features a double pitched roof with natural slate and decorated clay ridge tiles. The front west elevation is three windows wide, with square-headed 2/2 timber sliding sash windows on the ground floor and square-headed timber casement windows with metal grills above the sashes on both ground and first floors. The grills partly obscure the window views. A square-headed timber paneled double door with a rectangular overlight sits centrally on the ground floor, surrounded by rendered quoins and topped with a rendered lintel incorporating a keystone. Two decorative patress plates are positioned to the first floor.

The north gable-ended side elevation contains two square-headed window openings to the ground floor only, with no openings to the upper level and decorative fascia boards to the gable end. The south gable-ended side elevation contains no openings but has decorative fascia boards. The rear east elevation is roughcast rendered and features one square-headed door opening to the upper level with a timber-sheeted door.

External walls are painted ruled and lined render with quoin stones to the edges. The building was shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1906–07 as Lindesayville Orange Hall.

The hall is set back from Lindesayville Road behind a hedge. A small lawn with a central graveled path extends to the front, where a painted wrought-iron gate opens to the roadside. Two tall freestanding flagpoles with decorative finials stand within the lawn, one to the left and one to the right. The Killymoon River is located immediately to the west.

The listing extends to the hall, gates, gate piers and walling.
