History

The buildings, which were designed by William Murray, were completed circa 1830.[6] In 1945, Armagh County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Armagh Courthouse,[7] took over the buildings.[8] After the county council was abolished in 1973, the buildings became the regional office of several government departments.[9]
