Description

The Garden Ballroom, part of Dundonnell House, was designed by Neil Roger around 1960. It is a Gothic Revival garden room and ballroom. The building features three tall, pointed-headed windows on both the southwest and northeast elevations, each with intersecting tracery and multi-pane glazing. The roof is covered in slate and is piended. The interior includes Gothic plasterwork and chandeliers originally from Duff House.
