Crumlin Road Courthouse

Opened in 1850, this neo-Palladian building was designed by the notable Belfast architect and county surveyor, Sir Charles Lanyon. The building was enlarged in 1905-06 with blocks added either side of the columned portico. A tunnel linked the court with Crumlin Gaol on the other side of the road. The courthouse was closed in 1998 and was sold five years later to a private developer. Plans were approved for the conversion of the building into a 4-star hotel but the downturn in the economy thwarted these plans.
