8 High Street, Moneymore, Magherafelt, Co Londonderry, BT45 7PD

8 High Street, Moneymore, is an early 19th century building in Georgian style, designed as a doctor's residence and dispensary. It forms part of a unified composition with the Market House and Draper's Arms, contributing to a significant terrace on the west side of High Street. The building is Grade B2 listed and lies within a conservation area.

The building is six bays wide, two storeys high, with a basement and sits on a deep plinth beneath a plain solid parapet. The main elevation to High Street features a contrived plan with the central four bays projecting as a breakfront. An off-centre projecting porch of three steps rises to a landing, where a Tuscan columned portico with plain respond pilasters supports an entablature with moulded cornice. The entrance door is six-panelled and moulded, with a criss-cross astragal fanlight.

The ground floor contains twelve-pane double-hung sliding sash windows: two to the left of the porch and one to the right within the breakfront. To the extreme left is a further twelve-pane sash window, balanced on the right by an arched six-panel door set within a double concave reveal, topped with a fanlight of radiating astragals and accessed by two steps. A flat band stringcourse separates the ground and first floors. The first floor has six twelve-pane double-hung sliding sash windows positioned vertically above the ground-floor openings. The wall is smooth rendered and painted. A simple elegant metal railing extends across the four-bay breakfront on a low wall and forms a gate between the porch columns. The roof has a low pitch with two narrow and deep rendered chimney stacks, each carrying four tall pots. The north gable displays a single twelve-pane double-hung sash window, centrally placed at first floor level.

A first-floor bay was added around the 1980s over the arched door, which does not significantly detract from the overall composition. The rear elevation mirrors the front with matching twelve-pane double-hung sashes. An iron gate restricts access to the rear yard and the adjoining property. The building abuts No. 6 High Street to the left; to the right is a gateway accessing an enclosed yard behind.

The building was designed by Jesse Gibson, following a Deputation instruction in 1818 to prepare plans. The joinery work was executed in London so that it might serve as a model for workmen in the country. The dispensary function became redundant after 1851. The building subsequently housed the Belfast Bank, followed by the Northern Bank (present in 1977, when repairs were supervised by Messrs Smyth & Cowser, Architects, Belfast), and the Nationwide Building Society from 1986. Ownership has remained with the Draper's Company under The Draper's Charity. The building was listed in 1975. It now serves as a library. The listing extends to the building, boundary wall, and railings.
