Image: © Rossographer Taken: 6 Dec 2007
Built in 1906 this was home to the Crawford family and faces directly out onto Belfast Lough. In 1934 it was vacated by the Crawfords and turned into a TB hospital. After that it was turned into an old people's home before lying vacant for several years. It is now part of an 'exclusive' housing development known as 'Sharman Estate' - the buildings in the background, known as 'Sharman House', are newer additions, built recently. Apparently Ian Paisley has an apartment here - see http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/newspapers/sunday_times/ireland/article626578.ece
