A small building is marked on the OS Map of 1847-48, which is presumably the "small modern building of antique construction, erected as a porter's lodge" described by the NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT in 1839; this building was possibly incorporated into the current build. Chapel Rossan has been used as the factor's house for Logan estate.
