The red sandstone of the Ulster Reform Club building opened in 1885 in the centre of Belfast. Running north from Castle Place in Belfast in 1880 was Hercules Place, a decaying part of the city, which was then being demolished to make way for development of the wider and grander Royal Avenue. It was a site at Number 4 Royal Avenue that the Building Company acquired to construct the new club house. Its design was put out to competition and the successful firm was Maxwell & Tuke of Manchester , whose other work famously included Blackpool’s version of the Eiffel Tower. The construction contract went to Mr James Henry of Crumlin Road, Belfast, at an estimated cost of £12, 000.
