Manchester Salford images from the aidan.co.uk photo portfolio

Picture: Lee House the skyscraper that never was » Filename: ManLeeHse2x8213.jpg

Lee House is an office building behind Tootal House off Oxford St Manchester. It was built in the 1930s and has a groundbreaking design for the time. An upper section was planned but never built. The left hand view is from the former Central Station (later G-MEX, Manchester Central). The right hand view is from City Road East.

We can only imagine how Lee House would have looked if it had been extended upwards. A taller Lee House would have a look of Brooklyn, New York City.
