1-14 Long Row
There are 14 residential buildings at 1-14 Long Row in the Scottish industrial estate of New Lanark in the South Lanarkshire Council Area . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A. The row of buildings is also part of the New Lanark World Heritage Site .
history
The buildings are part of the model workers' estate New Lanark, which Davin Dale had built for his mills. They were built around 1792 and served as workers' apartments. The buildings in New Lanark differ from the usual workers' settlements of that time in that, due to the hillside location, a multi-storey construction was advantageous. Their structure served as a model for later settlements. Depending on the size of the family, the buildings could be flexibly subdivided into different apartment sizes between one and four rooms. In 1977 the row of buildings was restored. At that time ten of the buildings were privately owned.
description
The 42-axis building line is divided into 14 uniform units. It is New Lanark's longest continuous row of buildings. On the street side, the quarry stone buildings are three-story with contrasting natural stone surrounds . Due to the length of the slope, the row of buildings on the northeast-facing rear only rises two floors. Central entrance doors lead to the staircases. Elongated, twelve-part lattice windows are installed. The final gable roofs with gable chimneys are covered with gray slate. An exception is the building on the east side, the roof of which is designed with a half- hip. The interior is one room deep.
