Statement of Interest

One of the most impressive houses in Grange Terrace, Roman House was built for the Ballantine family of Ballantine's Iron Foundry, a short distance to the N (see separate listing), hence the quality of the cast-iron detailing, not seen elsewhere in Bo'ness. The house is of some architectural distinction with its attention to detail and interesting composition. Roman House is notable for the quality of its architecture and its historical link with a well-known Bo'ness company.
