The date range, spanning the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, places it in a period of considerable architectural and social upheaval in the west of Ireland, when estate houses, farmhouses, and more modest rural dwellings were being built, abandoned, and rebuilt in quick succession against a backdrop of changing land ownership and agricultural pressure.

Without fuller documentation currently available, the specific history of the Streamsford house, its original occupants, its construction details, and its later fate, remains largely out of reach. What can be said is that Streamsford itself is a small, quiet townland in Galway, and that houses from this period in Connacht range considerably in character, from modest two-roomed vernacular structures with thick rubble walls and small windows, to more substantial gentry residences built in a restrained Georgian style. The formal recording of such a building as a monument suggests it retains enough physical presence, or enough documentary significance, to merit protection, even if the particulars have yet to be made fully public.
