THE Albany
THE Albany, built for banker and racehorse owner Richard Naylor as a renaissance classical-style office block, was opened in 1858.
It was originally offices and storage space for city cotton brokers.
The five-storey red brick and sandstone building is built as a quadrangle with a large centre courtyard reached by an elaborate spiral staircase.
It was designated a listed building after the campaign to save it from demolition during the 1970s.
A number of restoration projects fell through until Chris Nisbet came forward with his scheme in 2002.
It has now been transformed into luxury apartments and modern communal areas.
