Summary

Description

Junction of Bridge and High Street, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland

English: Corner of Arnott & Co. Building at Bridge and High Street with a post office, rebuilt in in a Neo-Georgian style after the designs of the Belfast architects Young & Mackenzie, and reopened in November 1958. The original department store constructed in 1897–1900 was destroyed by the blitz in 1941. C.E.B. Brett sees the building as “careful designed to harmonise with the Commercial Buildings” in Waring Street. James Stevens considers the design, however, as “uninspired”. Archiseek similarly considers the building to be “pleasantly proportioned but unexciting”. The original department store Arnott & Co. was closed in August 1974 after 137 years in business. (See DIA record; Paul Carson, Arnott's shuts shop: One of Ulster's most iconic department stores closed its doors after 137 years of trading, Belfast Telegraph; C.E.B. Brett, Buildings of Belfast, p. 17; 1900 – Arnott & Col., Bridge St., Belfast, archiseek.com; James Stevens Curl, Making Dystopia: The Strange Rise and Survival of Architectural Barbarism, plates 1.2a+1.2b, Google Books ).
