Description :
|
"Rack House D is the largest Victorian storehouse on the site. Designed in 1890 by David Roberts Jr., Building 42 commands the northeast corner of Mill and Trinity Streets. The six-storey building was a bonded warehouse where 10,000 barrels of alcohol could be stored, under lock & key and keen surveillance by both the producers and the resident excise officer. Of particular interest are the freight elevator, massive barrel hoist, sprinkler system, explosion-proof lighting, and the fact that the building is supported by its own racking structure."
