Sunlight House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunlight House is a fine art deco office building on Quay Street, Manchester, England.
Built in 1932 by Joseph Sunlight, at 14-stories and 135 feet, it was reputed to be Northern England's first skyscraper and was for many years the city's tallest building. It is constructed of steel and concrete and clad in Portland stone. The original plans for 40 stories were blocked by the city council.
The building was renovated in the late 1990s and now houses shops and offices. It features a swimming pool, which now forms the centre of a commercial gym. The building is widely reputed to be haunted. It is a Grade II listed building.
