1-4 double row
There are four residential buildings at 1-4 Double Row in the Scottish industrial estate of New Lanark in the Council Area South Lanarkshire . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A. It 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. The row of buildings adjacent to David Dale's House was built in the late 18th century. Based on the building materials used, it can be assumed that it was built in the same period as the subsequent row 5–12 Double Row . It can also be seen that it was built in two construction phases, with parts of the building possibly being of an older date. The buildings in New Lanark differ from the usual workers' settlements of that time in that a multi-storey construction was advantageous due to the hillside location. Their structure served as a model for later settlements.
The houses housed workers' apartments for around 200 years. In 1994 the row of buildings was restored and turned into a youth hostel. Due to modern regulations, numerous details of the interior were lost.
description
The twelve-axis building row is divided into four uniform units. On the street side, the quarry stone buildings made of sandstone with separate natural stone surrounds are three-story. Due to the length of the slope, the row of buildings rises up four floors on the south-west facing rear. Central entrance doors lead to the staircases. Elongated, mainly twelve-part lattice windows are installed. At the back of the building, there are also small square windows between the second and third floors. The final gable roofs with gable chimneys are covered with Scottish slate. The residential units are two rooms deep.
