Netherleigh House, (commonly known as Netherleigh) is a Government Building in Belfast, Northern Ireland which serves as the headquarters for the Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland (formerly the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment) and the offices of the minister for that department.
The building is located on Massey Avenue, close to the Stormont Estate and Campbell College. It was built around 1875 and is thought to have been designed by WH Lynn.[1] Only part of the original structure remains, the rest having been demolished.
