Dufferin Memorial Hall, Bangor

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Dufferin Memorial Hall, Bangor. Memorial hall on Hamilton Road. It is squeezed in between other buildings on the street and photographs are awkward if, like me, you have no suitable wide angle lens.

The hall was built by local builder JH Savage to a design by Belfast firm Young & Mackenzie and opened in 1905. A memorial to the Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, the hall features the monogram DA above the door and coat-of-arms in the gable (see 1349608). Designed as a parish hall, it has served many purposes including a spell as the local court house during World War Two.

The hall is a memorial to Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava who died in 1902. The marquess had a varied and interesting life which included spells as Governor General of Canada from 1872 - 1878 and Viceroy of India from 1884 - 1888.
