The intersection at Castle Junction is dominated by the former Bank Buildings, a massive red sandstone structure that anchors the corner with its ornate, copper-domed tower. Before the department store that stands here today, the site served as the headquarters for the Belfast Bank. In nineteen eighteen, a clerk named James Miskelly accidentally started a fire while drying his coat near a radiator. The blaze consumed the building's interior, leaving only the scorched stone shell that defines this busy urban crossing.
