The Custom House, Belfast (detail) (2)
The Custom House J3474 : The Custom House, Belfast has more ornamentation that just heads J3474 : Head, Custom House, Belfast (6) and a pediment J3474 : The Custom House, Belfast (detail). The photo shows two (of four) angels in the spandrel (in a multi-storey building, a wall panel filling the space between the top of the window in one storey and the sill of the window in the storey above) representing manufacturing and peace). The protective mesh might look a bit unsightly but it’s effective at keeping the starlings out.
The Custom House, Belfast
The Custom House was built in 1854/7 to a design by Charles Lanyon and WH Lynn. The building is rich in detail and features several ornamental heads as well as figures (designed by the architects and carved by Thomas Fitzpatrick) of Britannia flanked by Neptune and Mercury.
