Sinclair's Clock

Sinclair's was once one of Belfast's most prestigious department stores. The first part of the store on Royal Avenue was built in 1926 in the classical style. By 1935, Sinclair's was extended with an Art Deco style addition by Belfast-born architect James Scott, who had previously designed the 1926 building. This extension is faced with cream terracotta and topped with a clock. Today the building is occupied by a cafe, with office space above. It is listed Grade B+, the equivalent to Grade II* listed status in Britain.
