Statement of Interest

Relatively intact despite the major, harled addition. The striking similarity between the Dutch gable to NE and Lorimer's service wing to the main house suggests that either Lorimer was inspired by the lodge, or that MacIntyre Henry did work on the main house before it burnt. Whatever the case, there is certainly a stylistic connection between the two.
