Lonely Planet review

Opposite the elegant Commercial Building is the Northern Bank Building, the oldest public building in the city. It started life as the single-storey Exchange in 1769, became the Assembly Rooms with the addition of an upper storey in 1777, and was remodelled in Italianate style in 1845 by Sir Charles Lanyon, Belfast's pre-eminent Victorian architect, to become a bank.
