History
Originally meetings of Antrim County Council were held at the Crumlin Road Courthouse.[1] The new building, which was designed by Burman Goodall & Partners, was completed in 1970.[2] The assembly hall in the building was known as Chichester Hall.[2] The building was badly damaged in a bomb attack in October 1972.[3] After the county council was abolished in 1973, it became the regional office of several government departments.[4][5]
