Lonely Planet review

On Donegall Sq West is the ornate 1897-1902 Scottish Provident Building. It's decorated with a veritable riot of fascinating statuary, including several allusions to the industries that assured Victorian Belfast's prosperity, as well as sphinxes, dolphins and lions' heads. The building was the work of the architectural partnership of Young and MacKenzie, who counterbalanced it in 1902 with the red sandstone Pearl Assurance Building on Donegall Sq East.
