26-30 Fountain Street, Antrim, BT41 4BB

This is a terrace of probably mid-19th century date, likely built between 1840 and 1859. The terrace appears on an Ordnance Survey map of 1857 and is situated facing the main street of the town, within the Town Parks townland and a conservation area.

The terrace comprises nine bays and two storeys, with slated roofs and rendered walls, featuring quoins at the extremities. A former central coachway entrance, originally an elliptical arch, has been blocked and replaced with a new window. Windows at numbers 26 and 28 retain their original timber sashes, with a two-over-two glazing pattern and horns. The remaining windows have modern fixed lights with top-hung vents. Number 30 has a ground-floor shopfront with modern timber-framed windows. Three red brick chimneys remain visible, although one has been removed. The buildings were originally used as houses and are currently in private ownership.
