"A picture is a poem without words"... - Horace • www.facebook.com/22over7.FineArtPhotography • • Always walk with your head held high and you will open your world up to some amazing sights that frequently pass people by unnnoticed as they meander about their daily lives. • • The Scottish Provident Institution building was built in sections between 1897 and 1902 with a design by Young & Mackenzie. It is situated on Donegall Square West and takes up around two thirds of the street. Originally intended as an office block it now houses shops, cafés and nightclubs as well as office space. During the 1920s the Belfast architect J St. J. Phillips had a private practice in the building. The building is made from Giffnoch sandstone with some details, such as the crest in the pediment, made from bronze. It has six floors and an an attic storey with access to the roof. The third, fourth and fifth floors are lined with Corintian style columns. The central bay is bowed and engraved upon it are four panels with carvings reperesenting Belfast's main industries at the time the building was erected - printing, ropemaking, shipbuilding, and spinning. Above it is a pediment depicting a variation of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, made from bronze, with the motto of the Order Of The Thistle, "Nemo Me Impune Lacesset" (No-one provokes me with impunity) which was first used on the coins of James VI of Scotland (James I of England). On either side of the pediment there is a sphinx facing the side of the building, and infront of it are four dolphins with open mouths facing east. The dolphins and the sphinges are all bronze. • • • www.naquinnphotography.com • • #ScottishProvident #VictorianCommercialPride #fineart #photographer #Belfast #UK #valette #landscapes #NornIron #artiseverywhere #pictoftheday #insta_ni #instapic #instaphoto #instaphotograph #pictureoftheday #nofilter #nofilterneeded #art #fstoppers #FstoppersTravel #photooftheday #instagood #instagram #instadaily #travelgram #mytravelgram #localhistory #igers #igersoftheday (at Scottish Provident Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/BycXCFshTvr/?igshid=1e7xp7y2zfj14
