IMG 5059-001-Scottish Provident Institution
Originally built as an office block, this massive building on Donnegall Square West at the junction of Wellington Place now houses shops and restaurants also.
A six-storey building with basement and attic-storey, designed by Young & Mackenzie Architects for The Scottish Provident Institution and built primarily in sandstone by Robert Corry in two phases between 1897 and 1902.
The first phase, at the corner of Donegall Square West and Wellington Place commenced construction in 1897 and was completed by 1900. Construction of the second phase, fronting onto Donegall Square West, commenced 1900 and was completed by 1902.
The building’s ornamental carvings, including female heads, representing Scotland, Ireland, England, India, Sudan and Canada were carried out by Purdy & Millard. Sculptures also depict the prevalent industries at the time of construction, including shipbuilding, rope making and weaving.
Ward & Partners installed the stained glass within the first floor lobby area depicting the arms of Scotland.
The building was grade A listed (HB26/50/012) in June 1979 and during 1982 – 1983 the external stonework was restored, a projecting canopy installed over the Donegall Square West entrance, and some of the building’s statues were removed.
Extensive refurbishment of the building, including the interior, exterior and roof, was undertaken during 2009.
