Another major monument of the Queen's Quarter is the Union Theological College Building. It was originally established as Assembly's College in 1853 and has since become an institute of theology with the ability to hand out a range of related degrees from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
This building was also designed by Charles Lanyon and is located only a few hundred meters east of the Lanyon Building of Queen's University. Among other posts, Lanyon became the Mayor of Belfast in 1862 and a conservative MP in Westminster from 1865-1868. He was also highly active on the Belfast Town Council during these years of his life.
