Description

Galamoor House is a former mill office building dated 1919, featuring two stories and an attic with a three-bay rectangular plan. It showcases baronial architectural details, including a central crow-stepped gable above a tripartite entrance, which is slightly projected and has a corbelled sandstone canopy. This entrance is accessed by a flight of sandstone steps. The ground floor has tripartite windows, while the first floor features bipartite windows. The rear elevation has paired gables with porthole windows. The building is constructed from roughly-squared whin and sandstone rubble, accented with chamfered red sandstone ashlar quoins and surrounds. It is situated at the edge of a former industrial complex on low-lying ground and includes a base course, a moulded string course at first floor level, and an eaves course.

The windows throughout are plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with purple slate, featuring ashlar skews and clay ridge tiles, along with modern rooflights and ashlar end stacks with clay cans.

Inside, the entrance hall is panelled with scumbled timber and includes blocked former hatches. There is a matching timber stair with balusters, scumbled panelled doors, and a large mullioned and transomed stair window.
