<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Great Victoria Street Presbyterian Church, also known as Sandy Row Presbyterian Church or South Kirk Presbyterian Church, is a significant ecclesiastical building located on Great Victoria Street in Belfast. It was built in a classical architectural style, reflecting the preference for classicism in Presbyterian churches of the time. The church was historically one of the largest Presbyterian congregations in Belfast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regarding changes since June 2014, information specifically detailing alterations to the Great Victoria Presbyterian Church building itself is not readily available in the search results. Many articles discuss the general decline of Presbyterian churches in Belfast, the demolition of other nearby churches (like the Great Victoria Street Baptist Church, which was demolished in late 2014), and the history of Presbyterianism in the city. However, there&#8217;s no indication that Great Victoria Presbyterian Church has undergone significant structural or external changes in the last decade. It continues to be a functioning church.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elmwood Hall in Belfast is a distinctive building that originally served as the Elmwood Presbyterian Church. Designed by amateur architect John Corry and completed in 1862 (with its notable campanile spire added in 1872), it&#8217;s considered one of Ulster&#8217;s finest High Victorian designs, showcasing a unique blend of Italianate and other eclectic architectural styles. In the 1970s, Queen&#8217;s University Belfast acquired and converted the deconsecrated church into a concert and events venue, which it remains today.</p>
