Historical Information

Although there was a building hereabouts in the 19th century, the present structure first appears in the 1911 Valuation Revision book. It is cited as a ‘shed’ belonging to John McArevey, who is described in a contemporary street directory as a cabinet maker and furniture remover. The building may well have been used to store furniture. For background information about the Belfast Roof Trusses, see HB18/08/139. Primary sources: 1. Valuation revision books, 1866-1930, PRONI - VAL 12B/22/18C, p24. 2. Provincial Directories, 1911 and 1912.
