The Gallery
This attractive two story stone house was built in the 1840s as the fever hospital for Dunfanaghy Workhouse. It closed in 1922. Then from the 1930s to the 1960s it was used as the National School for the Roman Catholic Children of the area. It’s opening in 1968, as The Gallery was the inspiration of Frank Egginton, the well-known landscape artist. Since then his daughter and son-in-law have run it.
Situated beside the workhouse on the Falcarragh road, The Gallery is well worth a visit. There is a large selection of original oil and watercolour paintings, antiques and artist’s material and a craft shop full of the very best of Irish handcrafts
