DESCRIPTION
Boots pharmaceutical Factory is one of the largest reinforced concrete buildings in the world, which is almost entirely covered with glass curtain walls. Built in 1932 in the Modern style, the building was listed as historic in 1974. It was restored and re-adapted into commercial offices in 1994, where the facades were refurbished.
