Description
The Toll House at Maryburgh is an octagonal, two-storey tollhouse constructed in 1828 by Joseph W Mitchell. It is built of ashlar stone. A single-storey, two-bay wing (originally a single bay) extends northwards, built of rubble stone and featuring two modern windows on its southeastern elevation. A slated veranda, supported by simple wooden hexagonal columns, projects around the ground floor of the octagonal section. The building has three-light windows on both the ground and first floors, with much of the original lattice-pane glazing remaining. The roof is piended with slate, featuring deep eaves and a central cluster of four renewed stacks. Two modern windows have been added to the east elevation of the wing. The tollhouse originally served Telford’s Conon Bridge, which has since been demolished. Signed plans are held in West Register House, Edinburgh (reference RHP 12645).
