Before planning a cold store it is important to define operational and technical specifications. These are strictly dependent on products, stores, storage conditions, environment, energy and personnel. The publication Guide to a refrigerated store (IIR, 1976) includes an exhaustive checklist worthy of use at this planning stage.

Like many American Mid-West cities, Buffalo's formerly bustling downtown hollowed out with the rise of "auto culture" and decline of its industrial might. As income rose and car ownership became common after the 1960s, residents moved out of the old and small homes in downtown to the suburban bungalows. As people moved out from city centres, shops shut down, jobs became scarce, buildings became derelict, and local government revenue fell. It was a vicious downward spiral. City centres often became ghost towns.
So in 2024, during my last visit to the U.S., I was very pleasantly surprised to come across this Braymiller Market, a boutique supermarket (believe me, THIS WAS the only grocery/ supermarket) in Buffalo's downtown.
Alas, I just found out that it did not survive. After just a few (three?) years of business, it had shut down permanently already.
Chicago's Fulton Market district has been replaced by hip restaurants and the white collars of office workers. This gritty Chicago working neighborhood that once had many meatpacking plants have moved out. Soaring property values have made many of these meatpacking plant sell and move out to the suburbs or to other parts of Chicago. Fulton Market has changed so much in just a few years.

The greater the height of the chambers the better, limited only by the mechanical means of stacking and by the mechanical resistance either of the packaging material or of the unpackaged merchandise. In fact chilled meat carcasses, which cannot be stacked, limit the height of the chamber as they are hung from rails . Chilled quarters and cuts can be mechanically handled for storage without stacking.
The length and width of the chambers are determined by the total amount of merchandise to be handled, how it is handled (hanging from rails, forklift trucks), the number of chambers and the dimensions of basic handling elements.
I saw this building and several others on the same lot, stopped and took a couple of pics. As I was shooting, the owner approached me and told me the history involved. He said that he's the 5th generation owner and one of his great grandfathers way back settled on this parcel. He was a retired British Officer and was granted this land by the King of England. As it was passed from father to son, each generation added more buildings. This one happens to be a combination...one floor was a slaughter house, the next was a tannery, and the last was a mill and cold storage.
Cold Storage, Holland Village, Singapore. Digging for some stuff to upload today, something mundane for you all...
SCL-L&N Family Lines System caboose and box car seen at an open house, Hooker Point Seaport Terminal in Tampa, Florida, mid 1970's. There appears to be a young child appearing in the caboose coupla window. The building behind the cars is a cold storage shipping warehouse with a ship cargo transfer pier located on the opposite side of the building.

The general features of a cold store operational programme (products, chilling and chilled storage, freezing and frozen storage, cutting, deboning and packaging, stocks, daily movements) include total capacity, number and size of rooms, refrigeration system, storage and handling equipment and access facilities.

The relative positioning of the different parts will condition the refrigeration system chosen. The site of the cold chambers should be decided once the sizes are known, but as a general rule they should be in the shade of direct sunlight.
The land area must be large enough for the store, its annexes and areas for traffic, parking and possible future enlargement. A land area about six to ten times the area of the covered surface will suffice.
Beorma Quarter - Digbeth - progress as of late May 2014.
The new building going up on the corner with Allison Street is about 2 floors up!
Meanwhile scaffolding is going up around the old Digbeth Cold Storage Building.
The Centrepoint is amongst the largest and most popular shopping centres in Singapore, meeting virtually every need of tourists and locals alike. Here you'll find the legendary Robinsons & Co. Took this shot from the new Orchard Central upper balcony. You will not be able to use a tripod as the parapet is much too high. I just get a firm grip on my cam and rest it at the edge of the parapet using guess work to get the frame I wanted. The speed was 1/6 even though ISO was at 800. Just hold my breath and fire away. As usual out of several shots one will be right on target.
Just 2 bracketed pics blending with some light contrast and sharpening on CS3.

These were recently posted around the Cleveland Cold Storage building; fire sprinkler system removed, stairways unsafe, and no ventilation. Just a sign of the soon demise of this building.
This is another view of the rooftop of the cold storage building in the CMD that is being converted to something profitable. As of the beginning of February the structure is still intact.
This is the Digbeth Cold Storage building at 123 - 135 Digbeth.
It is a former Cold Storage building from 1899 by Ernest C Bewlay.
It is a Grade II listed building.
Ice Factory and Cold Store. Designed in 1899 by Ernest Bewlay for the Linde British Refrigeration Company and completed in 1900, by which time Bewlay had joined Cossins and Peacock of Colmore Row. Red brick with a slate roof. Four storeys and a basement.
Exterior: The front to Digbeth Road has a distinct architectural treatment. There are 10 bays: At ground floor level these have semi-circular relieving arches and the 7 bays at left are blind but at right the 3 metal-framed windows have cambered heads. The first floor is blind, but the second and third floor windows are paired and the third floor has lunettes, save to the 2 right-hand bays which are blind. The left flank abuts No. 135 Digbeth. The right flank has 2 shaped gables with a loading bay to the ground floor which has a raised platform and 4 iron columns with bollards. The second and third floors here have a wall arcade but no windows. To the tops of the gables are large circular air inlets. A wall to ground floor level at right has been demolished and the 1937 Goad Insurance plan of the site indicates that this is probably where the boilerhouse chimney once stood. The rear has the boilerhouse at right with arched heads to the metal-framed windows and pilaster buttresses and a louvre to the roof.
Interior: the building has a tall ground floor and lesser height to the three upper floors. The loading bay is at the eastern end of the building, giving onto a courtyard which is entered from Digbeth and Orwell Passage. Immediately behind are a staircase and two lifts leading to each floor. The floors are supported by a grid of evenly spaced iron columns with moulded caps supporting steel beams. At each level there are 4 main chambers. These have heavy, insulated doors and the walls and ceiling are lined with wood panelling behind which is cork insulation. There are metal ducts of rectangular section across the ceilings, which are also covered with cork insulation and boxed-in with wood panels. To the top of the building there are replaced fans which circulate cold air. The roof structure has been replaced to the original pattern.
Opposite the loading bay, on the other side of a courtyard, is a lower building with shaped gables housing the office, stores and canteen, built in 1920 to designs by Cossins, Peacock and Cooke, which is not included in this item.
Former Ice Factory and Cold Store 123-135 Digbeth - British Listed Buildings
A former cold store of 1899 by Ernest C. Bewlay, impressively funcitonal with something of H.H. Richardson's Romanesque in its deeply chamfered paired windows with lunettes above.

As of Spring 2011 - work has begun on the Beorma Quarter site. Hennessey's has moved down Allison Street, and the old one is behind hoardings.
