Charlemont Place is a row of terraced houses in Armagh, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. From 1945 to 1973 the buildings served as the headquarters of Armagh County Council. They are Grade A listed buildings.[1][2][3][4][5]

History

The buildings, which were designed by William Murray, were completed circa 1830.[6] In 1945, Armagh County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Armagh Courthouse,[7] took over the buildings.[8] After the county council was abolished in 1973, the buildings became the regional office of several government departments.[9]
