What is recorded here

Donegall Square Methodist Church opened in 1806 as the Mother Church of Belfast Methodism, sustained worship until 1994, and surrendered its Corinthian pillars to an Ulster Bank office in 1999. Isaac Farrell’s classical facade still stands beside ledgers and lobby glass, translating prayer into transaction. The plaque preserves the address, dates and transformation, while the building continues to divide remembrance from forgetting.
