Pure Spirits Building

 

3 Tank House Lane

 

Located on the east side of Trinity Street, the Pure Spirits group contains seven buildings that are linked physically, functionally, and architecturally. Built in 1873 for alcohol purification (aka, rectification) and storage, these buildings dominate the east side of Trinity Street, define the south side of Tank House Lane, and present some of the finest industrial architecture on the site. Stills were located in the structures fronting on Trinity Street, while storage tanks were located in one-storey warehouses behind. Given the potentially explosive nature of the process, the Pure Spirits buildings contained large amounts of glass and wood that would have blown out to save the buildings. The architect solved the practical problem with unusual elegance.
