Scope and Content New Buildings and Nursery Buildings from the Counting House, New Lanark, Lanarkshire The first buildings on the site of New Buildings were some single-storey cottages. David Dale built a row of tenements to replace them in the late 1790s, and Robert Owen later heightened them. Nursery Buildings were built by Owen as an apprentice house. This view shows how excellent a viewpoint the first-floor office in the Counting House is. One can see all the traffic entering and leaving the village, and admire the elegance of New Buildings with its bellcote and pediment. Nursery Buildings was restored as flats in the early 1970s, and New Buildings was later rehabilitated using workers employed under the Community Programme of the Manpower Services Agency. One of the flats in New Buildings is now open to visitors. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
