1905 – Presbyterian Church, Portstewart, Co. Derry

Interesting smaller presbyterian church and hall by Vincent Craig, younger brother of James Craig, later Lord Craigavon, first premier of Northern Ireland. Craig received his architectural training in the office of W.H. Lynn from 1885 to 1889, after which he spent a year travelling in Europe. Many of Craig’s buildings had a eclectic appearance of unusual feature, here a buttress is positioned in the main window. This church with its Arts & Crafts influences is finished in pebble dashed stucco and red sandstone
