As Belfast expanded during the middle of the nineteenth century its middle class sought suitable accommodation away from the linen mills and engineering works which provided the basis for their wealth. South Belfast experienced much desirable development. The area around what is now Queens University became particularly fashionable. The houses in the photograph were built between 1848 and 1853. They are now occupied by various departments of the university.
