    It's called "The Post Office, Belfast" in a similar Eblana shot.

    The stairs and door to the right should give a clue to the date: "The entrance to the post office at the south elevation was removed in 1872. This had been a triple-arched stepped entrance (see image gallery below) but was replaced with a new entrance to the west of the south block. This new entrance was short lived and was removed in 1886." From here. I think this is the 1872-1886 version (west of the south block).

Badly in need of a landscaper!

    There's a second picture of the same building showing what looks like a red-brick terrace in front.

    When I saw this first I thought "Ducketts Grove" but the terrace in Sharons would eliminate that! Fairly institutional and bleak without any shrubbery or landscaping!

    Would this be Palladian?
