History:
This is a beautiful gatelodge situated just outside the town of Ballycastle. Magherintemple Lodge was built in the Scottish Baronial style in 1874, possibly by the architect S P Close. At the same time as the lodge was constructed, an extension was added to the main house also in the same style. The family believes that the main house was designed by John Lanyon but no definite evidence for the name of the architect survives. The original Georgian House was relatively modest but contained good reeded ornamentation with the Victorian addition containing much fancy pine detailing.
Il s'agit d'une belle maisonnette de gardien situé juste à l'extérieur de la ville de Ballycastle.
La loge de Magherintemple a été construite dans le style baronnial écossais en 1874, probablement par l'architecte SP Close. En même temps que le pavillon fut construit, une extension fut ajoutée à la maison principale dans le même style. La famille pense que la maison principale fut conçue par John Lanyon, mais aucune preuve définitive pour le nom de l'architecte n’a été retrouvée. La maison géorgienne d'origine était relativement modeste, mais contenait de belles décorations avec des ajouts victoriens contenant beaucoup de détails et fantaisie en pin.
It was John Casement, the father of Sir Roger, who built on the Victorian wing, adding a date stone and his initials over the drawing room window. The Scottish Baronial style he chose was very plain. However, the stepped gables, finials and chimney stacks break up the austerity of the building. This Victorian addition considerably improved the value of the estate. We know that in 1834, the house was valued at only £11.15.0 and between 1851 and 1879, the house and outbuildings were valued at £25. In 1878 it was shown as "rebuilding", and in the following year the valuation had shot up to £60. C'était John Casement, le père de Sir Roger, qui fit construire l'aile victorienne, il ajouta une pierre datée avec ses initiales au dessus de la fenêtre du salon. Le style baronnial écossais qu'il a choisi était très simple. Toutefois, les pignons à gradins, fleuron et cheminées brisait l'austérité du bâtiment. Cet ajout victorien a considérablement amélioré la valeur du domaine. Nous savons qu’en 1834, la maison fut évaluée à seulement £ 11.15.0 et entre 1851 et 1879, la maison et ses dépendances ont été évaluées à £ 25. En 1878, il a été démontré qu’avec la” reconstruction", dans les années suivantes, l'évaluation a grimpé à £ 60.
John Casement inscribed over the front door of his home, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths" and later in his life decided to take the pledge. Many of the next generation of the Casement family took to seafaring while the fate of another member of the family, Sir Roger Casement, is well known.
John Casement inscrivit sur la porte d'entrée de sa maison, «Dans tous les chemins reconnaît le et il pourra indiquer tes sentiers" et plus tard dans sa vie il décida de prendre l'engagement. Beaucoup de la génération suivante de la famille Casement prirent la mer alors que le sort d'un autre membre de la famille, Sir Roger Casement, est bien connue.
