Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Station Hotel", James Street, Omagh. Although built as a hotel, there is some doubt that it ever traded as such. The reason for this is not known.

Quoting from The people of Trinity Book by John McCandless and Claire McElhinney

"Importantly for this area, the railway from Londonderry, Enniskillen and Dundalk, arrived in Omagh in 1852, 1854 and 1859 respectively followed in 1861 by the Dungannon/Portadown line. This effectively ended the mail coaches to Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland and led to the development or at least redevelopment of John Street and James Street which were named after James and John Galbraith. The Station Hotel (now the Blind Centre and formerly home of the Lagan family) was the first property in James

Street which was named Galbraith Terrace for a while after the Galbraith family which came to the district from Scotland during the Plantation in the early 1600s and acquired land at Clanabogan." 93319
