The First Derry Presbyterian Church, Magazine Street
Image: © Eric Jones Taken: 19 Aug 2009
This church was built in 1780 after the original dating from 1690 was demolished in 1777. The striking Corinthian portico was added later. As far as I understand the church is no longer functional but there are plans afoot to refurbish it for worship. The paint bombed building on the right is the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall. http://www.derrycity.gov.uk/economicdevelopment/first_derry.asp
