The Assembly Rooms have been on the Heritage At Risk Register since 2003
The historic Assembly Rooms sits at the junction of North Street and Waring Street and was built in 1769.
The Ulster Architecture Heritage organisation has said that general maintenance of the building has “fallen by the wayside and has suffered from vandalism”.Co-Chair of the Harps Alive Festival, John Gray, explained that the Assembly Rooms is listed on the ‘Heritage At Risk Register’ since 2003. “The Assembly Rooms is the oldest public building in Belfast dating from 1769,” he said.
“It was here that, famously, the citizens of Belfast rejected plans to create a slave trading company, and it was here that United Irish leaders, including Henry Joy McCracken, were court martialled and sentenced to death in 1798.” “The Assembly Rooms are ripe for immediate and respectful rejuvenation, whilst seizing a glaring opportunity for the city.
