Warehouse 26
Warehouse 26, a monumental building, covers an area of 9,000 sq.m., with a face of about 244m, an underground floor used as a cellar, a ground floor, three higher floors and a garret. It was completed in 1893.
Because of the extraordinary length of the building - which reminds us of the speicher in Bremen - the design included two main stairs leading to the higher floors seven elevators, eight lifts and two internal hatchways connected with the cellar.
The archivolt interrupts the monotonous shape of the windows, while the design of the main facade is consistent with the other buildings.
The turrets above the finishing cornices, the richly decorated mansards and the clock tower enhance the sumptuousness of this warehouse.
The rows of cast-iron mullions and the avant-corpses give the whole building an extraordinary perspective.
