Linenhall Street, Belfast (June 2017)

See J3373 : Linenhall Street, Belfast (August 2006). Nearly eleven years later a similar view (from Ormeau Avenue in this case) and little has changed except for the tree growth.
The City Hall (background) replaced the white linen hall Link

. “white” referred to the colour of the bleached linen and not the building.

Belfast City Hall

Belfast City Hall was built in 1896/1906, by H&J Martin Link to a design by Brumwell Thomas. It replaced the White Linen Hall (1785-1896) Link (“white” refers to the colour of the linen rather than the building) on the same site in the middle of Donegall Square. Apart from its architectural merits and being the seat of the City Council it tends to be the place from where directions are given.

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.
