J3373 : Clarendon House, Belfast

taken 16 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

Clarendon House, Belfast
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. Planning permission has now been sought for a replacement block of eleven storeys. The architect’s drawing shows something more pleasing to the eye.

A visitor to the site has supplied some information which confirms that the lifts were maintained in working order for some time after the bomb. The building’s owner became the subject of a corporate insolvency in early 2011.

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.
