Clarendon House, Belfast

Clarendon House (at the corner of Adelaide Street and Franklin Street) began life circa 1970 as the “Silopark” – a multi-storey car park using lifts instead of the now-predominant spiral system. It soon fell victim to an internal car bomb and lay derelict for many years before conversion to an office building. The following two applications for planning permission were advertised during November 2014: “Z/2014/1389/DCA 9-21 Adelaide Street, Belfast Demolition of office building” and “Z/2014/1398/F 9-21 Adelaide Street, Belfast, New 10 storey office building.” The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of geographical and historical record only and express no opinions, for or against, the planning applications.

Discussion on J3373

A visitor to the site has supplied some interesting information about former buildings in Donegall Square South (originally built by Adam McClean J3373 : Donegall Square South (part), Belfast (1981) ) – “ I have a property map showing the row of terraces in Donegall Square South. It depicts No 5 as having almost twice the street frontage of the other eight houses. It seems odd to make one larger than the others.
The map showed that Adam McClean owned the vacant ground (then known as McClean's Fields) from Alfred across to Brunswick St, and from Donegall Square South to the Blackstaff river as far as the old Dublin road. As the area was developed, the name of the purchaser of each block has been written on the lot. This seems to happen until about 1862, with the Ulster Hall being the last entry”.
Charlie Brett described Adam McClean as one of four sons of an innkeeper at Shane’s Castle. That should have been six sons.
