Bank of Ireland building

Bank of Ireland building
Standing on the corner of Royal Parade and North Street in the centre of Belfast the former Bank of Ireland Building is one of the finest Modernist buildings in Ireland. It was was constructed during 1929 and 1930 to designs by Joseph Vincent Downes. The exterior is Portland limestone and the building is listed grade B+ which is the equivalent of II* on the British mainland.

Walked past there a few times in the 1970s - glad it's survived!
