MacNeice House, 77 Malone Road, Belfast, is one of the finest old properties in the area. It is now converted to offices for use by, among others, the Arts Council Northern Ireland. A more modern extension joins the house with the address 75 Malone Road and houses more offices. The description below is taken from http://www.artscouncil-ni.org/departs/all/report/MacNeice%20House%20doc.pdf MacNeice House - the current home of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland at 77 Malone Road - is an imposing double-fronted Victorian merchant’s villa dating from 1889. Designed by the Belfast architect Samuel Stevenson for James Johnston, a successful tea merchant who owned much of the surrounding area, in many ways it is typical of the substantial late-nineteenth century houses which were built for the wealthy industrialists and entrepreneurs of Belfast who, from the 1850s, began to favour the airy Malone ridge over the crowded centre of the burgeoning industrial town.
