“CHQ Building”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The CHQ Building, formerly known as Stack A,^[1]^[2] is an industrial building in Dublin, Ireland. CHQ stands for "Custom House Quay". Known as the Tobacco Store to dockworkers, it was built in 1820 to store cargos of tobacco, tea and spirits. Tobacco and tea were kept in separate compartments above ground. Wine and spirit casks were stored in the vaults below ground.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}

Description

Designed by the Scottish engineer John Rennie,^[3] with his son of the same name working as his principal assistant, this industrial building had the largest pre-20th century clear floor space in Dublin City.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Brick external walls enclosed a space of more than 8,000sqm with a cast iron frame supporting a slated roof. No wood was used in the construction. The building measures 155m by 55m and of the original nine vaults that run west to east and cover the entire footprint of the building, eight and a half remain after the building was reduced by 5m at its southern end in 1884 in order to widen Custom House Quay. A total of eleven warehouses or "stacks", as well as three deep-water docks were built on reclaimed land making up the Custom House Docks complex. Land that had been tidal marshland was reclaimed in the late 1700s by the construction of the North Wall along the banks of the River Liffey.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}

History

The Grade One protected structure was restored by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority,^[4] in the early 2000s. Irishman Neville Isdell,^[5]^[6] a former Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola, along with Mervyn Greene, purchased the building in late 2013 with the intention of developing the structure into a destination ^[7] in the Dublin Docklands.

Today, the building contains a number of businesses, including the EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum.,^[8]^[9] and Dogpatch Labs ^[10]
