At the other end of Catherine Street is Limavady Orange Hall. It stands like a bookend as the street starts to descend towards Roe Bridge. The building was completed in 2016 but it retains the marks of its predecessor in its facade. This works well to the street with the increased height harmonising with the previous elevation and the bright new painted finish increasing its civic presence. The side elevation works less well, in my view, as its rectangular modernist proportions hit the more conservative front facade in a way which is a little incongruous. The new building houses a heritage centre which is open to all. The previous hall opened in 1890.
