J3373 : Former Eagle Star House, Belfast

taken 12 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

Former Eagle Star House, Belfast

An office black, in Upper Queen Street, built (I think) in the late 1970’s for the Eagle Star (later the Zurich Insurance Group). The latter has now moved to other premises. The building is unusual in that the lift did not serve the top floor.

Eagle Star House, Belfast

An office building, at 5-7 Upper Queen Street, with the following planning permission (13 December 2018) “LA04/2018/1199/F Refurbishment of existing office building providing new curtain walling facade system and replacing all windows. 5-7 Upper Queen Street Belfast BT1 6QD”.

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.
