Netherleigh House
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 office is currently occupied by Diane Dodds, since the 2017 Northern Ireland Assembly election.

The building is located on Massey Avenue, close to the Stormont Estate and Campbell College. It was built around 1875 and its design has been attributed to Sir Charles Lanyon. Only part of the original structure remains, the rest having been demolished and replaced by a 1970s office building, which adjoins the remaining section of the House. Netherleigh House, has had a number of owners including a linen merchant and a politician Major Samuel Hall-Thompson, before it became a preparatory school for Campbell College, a military hospital during the Second World War, and then government offices. There is reputed to be a ghost of an American airman haunting parts of the building including one of the staircases.

In recent years, it has been closely associated with the Renewable Heat Enquiry Scandal, as decisions made about payments to energy producers were made in the building.
