The name Dunlambert which occurs in a small group of streets in North Belfast comes from a former “Big House” in the area: “Dunlambert House”. Dean writes about “another large villa” in Fortwilliam Park by the Glasgow architect James Hamilton for the linen merchant Henry Matier which was built in 1871-1873. This was built on the former grounds of Fortwilliam House which had been sold off during the 1860s to a "rising generation of prosperous Belfast merchants' as building plots". Dean stated that the gate lodge was built around 1873. "Resolved- That the names "Dunlambert Drive", "Dunlambert Avenue, "Dunlambert Gardens," and "Dunlambert Park" be approved for new streets on Dunlambert Estate off Fortwilliam Park". (16th November 1937).
