So you would have me believe that you can't in any way tell if it were written by a loyalist or a republican? I can. More to the point, is there not any neutral way in which it could have been written? This was clearly not attempted.
The most remarkable thing is that the history was written from a loyalist perspective when it is located in the Republic! This is easily explicable, though, as it is written from the perspective of the family that owned it. You would think that they might want to be more diplomatic, though, otherwise the tricolour flying outside won't fool anyone.
Of course architectural historians do this sort of thing all the time. They are probably just as biassed as everyone else, too, LOL!
No point dragging this on much further. We both know where we stand.
