Our History

He also designed Queen’s University, Crumlin Road Gaol, Portrush Town Hall. He influenced the design of many churches and notable public buildings here.

During the years 1934-47, Magherabuoy House was the home of Sir Richard Dawson Bates. Bates was Minister for Home Affairs in the old Northern Ireland government at Stormont. He was a close ally of the Prime Minister and a controversial figure in his own right. He often used Magherabuoy House to entertain foreign dignitaries.
