    The DIA puts construction of the building at 1883-85
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lowson were there in 1890. No Wilson, Carswell, or Photo shop.

    Lowson gone by 1901, Calvert stockbroking here.

    But McCulloch is in Queen's buildings both dates, and I see Charles & Russell photographers in 1901.

    I think we are between 1890 and 1901.
  • Philip Mayer said:
    The building on the left looks interesting.
    I hope somebody can identify it?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    philipgmayer The fancy one with the railings? That's the Reform Club itself, I think.
  • John Spooner said:
    Dissolution of partnership clearance sale of Wilson & Carswell advertised first in the Ulster Echo on 3rd February 1881, and the latest I can see is in the Portadown News on 29th May 1886.

    Breaking up is hard to do.

    “Francis Joseph Bigger (1863 – 9 December 1926[1][2]) was an Irish antiquarian, revivalist, solicitor, architect, author, editor, Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland. His collected library, now distributed across several public institutions, comprised more than 18,000 books, journals, letters, photographs, sketches, maps, and other materials. His house in Belfast was a gathering place for Irish nationalist politicians, artists, scholars, and others. He was a prolific sponsor and promoter of Gaelic culture, authored many works of his own, founded (or co-founded) several institutions, and revived and edited the Ulster Journal of Archaeology”

    The six storey Scottish Mutual Building (originally known as the Scottish Temperance Building) was designed by Henry Seaver and built by James Henry & Sons between 1902 – 1904 for the Scottish Temperance Assurance Company at a cost of £40,000.

    The site, formerly known as the Scottish Mutual Building, will reopen next year as an hotel
