The last mystery photo was that of Parliament Building in Northern Ireland, often referred to as Stormont, because of its location in the Stormont Estate area of Belfast. The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
Parliament Buildings is home to the Northern Ireland Assembly, the legislative body for Northern Ireland established under the Belfast Agreement 1998 (Good Friday Agreement). Built in 1921 at a cost of nearly £1.7 million, it was designed to house the newly formed Government of Northern Ireland and was officially opened on 16th November 1932 by the then Prince of Wales, on behalf of King George V.
Among the readers recognizing this building were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Stew Ogilvie of Lawrenceville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va. Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Between 1998 and 2024, there have been many attempts to establish a stable, power sharing arrangement with the U.K. Government, but during that time, the assembly experienced many ‘fits and starts’ caused by the ongoing disputes and disagreements between the two main unionist parties. The latest dissolution of the assembly occurred in 2022, and was only restored again on February 3, 2024.”
