説明 | The good news is that this building has not been demolished since my last visit.Because of its size and location it is not easy to photograph this building.This four-storey sandstone building, which as lain empty for about twenty years, was designed by James Hamilton, also the architect of the Waring Street Ulster Bank, now the Merchant Hotel.When I first photographed this building about ten years ago a local told me that it was to be converted to a hotel.The building is described as follows “A large prestigious Victorian style building situated on the corner of Bedford Street and Franklin Street constructed in 1869 with further extensions in 1883 and 1937. A former linen mill the building has lay vacant for several decades which has resulted in the building falling into heavy disrepair. The three storey corner site has been provided with an impressive brown/grey Scottish sandstone façade including architectural sandstone detailing including circular columns, decorative arched window openings and a sandstone parapet wall detail at roof level. A dual pitched natural slate roof incorporating Georgian wire glazed roof light has been provided over the majority of the building whilst a dome roof structure finished in lead has been provided over the corner elevation.”In November 2015 it was announced that this former linen warehouse was to be transformed into a 21st century office development. The front of the building was to be retained [does front mean exterior?] but the rest was to be demolished if everything went according to plan. At the time the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society (UAHS) lodged an objection to the planning proposal, claiming the planned new build behind the remnant facade "appears unsympathetic to remaining characteristics in design, form, materials, techniques and detailing". |
