Built of red brick with contrasting yellow brick detail.
I love this type of architecture. You can read more details on the Buildings At Risk website
It was also used in the past as a bonded warehouse for whisky storage.
I showed some pictures of the warehouse interior in a previous post. Just look at the brickwork details -
Hopefully this building can be saved, but there are so many worthy buildings in Greenock - such a shame that they can't all be rescued!
We have many such building like this dating from the mid to late 1800's in New England. Many have found new life as apartments, or homes for other businesses. This one looks like it's in great shape. I also marvel at the details of the brick work. It would be nice if all these buildings could be saved.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if this building could be converted too. It would be a wonderful sight to see it renovated.

Wonderful brickwork, elegant building. I agree, some of these old industrial buildings are a delight. We went to the People's Palace in Glasgow not long ago (and I keep meaning to do a post about it), but there's an old Victorian building there, a carpet factory or something, that's just astonishing.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the Templeton Carpet Factory which looks like some sort of eastern palace! A fabulous building, I agree.
