Former tobacco warehouse

The former tobacco warehouse in Greenock is very typical of industrial buildings of the late 19th century.

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!
