39. Scottish Baronial Revival- Baronscourt Stables- 1890
Given the strong links between Ulster and Scotland, it is perhaps not surprising that the Scottish Baronial style became popular towards the end of the century when Home Rule was a topic of debate. As a defensive style it was popular for insurance offices (Belfast), Police Stations (Dungannon) as well as houses. Joseph Bell of Belfast was employed to extend and remodel the stables of Baronscourt in the style in 1890. The building was designed to be seen as a romantic outline from the main house.
