1900 – Bank Buildings, Royal Avenue, Belfast
Architect: W.H. Lynn
A large cast iron structure clad in red Dumfries stone, this is one of the most impressive of the Belfast commercial buildings from the turn of the 19-20th centuries. Built in several stages with the original shop to Royal Avenue the last to be rebuilt. Designed by W.H. Lynn, the building features a large clock over a row of cast iron columns, the central one of which is omitted. The ground floor store is clad in a polished marble with the entrance marked with a large rounded window. Destroyed by fire in August 2018. Restored and reopened in November 2022.
