1887 – Crescent Church, University Rd., Belfast
Architect: John Bennie Wilson
Designed by Scottish architect John Bennie Wilson after an architectural competition to design a new church for the Linen Hall St. congregation who were relocating. Weirdly only one Belfast-based architect entered the competition. In an Early French Gothic style, the building has a prominent 140ft bell tower with a remarkably open belfry, and was constructed to accommodate 1,100 people. The building also included several halls of various sizes for meetings and school usage. The building is a an independent, undenominational Christian congregation since 1977.
