A centenary of building; Wm. Nicholson & Son (Leeds) Ltd, brochure c.1927 : Atlas Chambers, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK

            A plate from a lavishly illustrated album issued by the Leeds based building company William Nicholson to celebrate 105 years of works, thus dating the book to c1927. The company were responsible for constructing many of the grandiose buildings in Leeds and Yorkshire, as well as some more mundane ones that included factories and workshops.

This shows what became known as one of the 'white buildings' of Leeds, Atlas Chambers, due to the use of the marble-white faience known as "Marmo" by the manufacturers, Leeds based Burmantofts, part of the Leeds Fireclay Company. The building, designed by Perkin & Bulmer, still stands. It featured not only Nicholson's as builders, Burmantofts as supplier but like several other contracts they undertook at the time, involved the Trussed Steel Concrete Company and 'Excellence' Reinforced Concrete Company.
