Greenland Warehouses

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:33:49

The red-shuttered Greenland Warehouses were built in 1620. Whale oil was a sought-after ingredient for soap, lamp oil and paint, and wells in these warehouses held 100,000L of the precious stuff. Nowadays they're chic apartments, but the facade is well maintained.
