Former St Joseph's convent, Sussex Place, Belfast

The former St Joseph’s Convent of Mercy, at the corner of Sussex Place and Joy Street, was completed in 1880 to a design by Alexander McAlister. Part of the cost of construction came from the estate of the noted architect Timothy Hevey who died shortly after completion. In more recent times used as the presbytery J3473 : The Presbytery of St Malachy's Church, Alfred Street of St Malachy’s church LinkExternal link nearby.
