Good Shepherd Gate Lodge

The gate lodge of the Good Shepherd Convent on the Ormeau Road in Belfast was designed by Sherry & Hughes in 1868 and extended by J J McDonnell in 1895. It lay empty for many years after the last family lived in it until it was acquired by the Belfast Buildings Trust for restoration as their offices.

Hearth was asked to supervise the restoration in 2009 (main contractor Annvale Construction). Initial conversion plans were altered when original Gothic windows at the rear of the building were discovered and opened up.
