Ormiston House was built in 1867, by Scottish architect David Bryce, as a family home for James Combe who was a Scottish merchant and the owner of the Falls Iron Foundry. The house went on to play a part in many other lives over the years. Some of its many inhabitants included the chairman of Harland & Wolff Shipbuilders, Lord William Pirrie, as well as boarders from a local boys’ college and it also housed the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Thereafter it lay vacant for around 20 years, falling into a state of extreme dereliction and disrepair, having suffered extensive water ingress and vandalism which caused damage or removal of many original features prompting it to be identified as a building at risk.
