Carleton House is a stately three-storey house in Georgian style. It was the town's only hospital facility from 1917 until 1972 when the Craigavon Area Hospital opened. It was also known as The Carleton Maternity Home from the 1930s. Many babies were born in it and others, born in Lurgan Hospital, were transferred to this home until the mothers and babies were able to go home. It has now been converted into sheltered accommodation for senior citizens.
