Stormont Estate

It is the site of Northern Ireland's main Parliament Buildings, which is surrounded by woods and parkland, and is often referred to in contemporary media as the metonym "Stormont".

Parliament authorised the Government of Northern Ireland to purchase the 224-acre Stormont Estate for about £21,000; this included 100 acres of woodland.

[3] Parliament Buildings at Stormont were designed by Sir Arnold Thornely in Greek classical style.

On this road stands a bronze statue of the barrister and Unionist politician, Lord Carson, on a stone plinth and base.

[5] Detached two-storey stone lodges and gate screens to Stormont Estate were built about 1932, on the Upper Newtownards Road and on Massey Avenue.

[6][7] A single-storey hipped roof Neo-Georgian style pavilion located on the north side of Massey Avenue, just inside the entrance, was built in 1936 by the Ministry of Finance.

[8] Another single-storey hipped roof Neo-Georgian style pavilion on Massey Avenue was built to the east side of the Lord Carson Memorial at some point between 1938 and 1959.

[10] The tomb of Viscount Craigavon, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, and his wife, Cecil, is on the east side of Parliament Buildings.

There is also a children's park named after former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam, MP.
