Lloyd's Buildings, Colombo
The Lloyd's Buildings (Sinhala: ලොයිඩ්ස් ගොඩනැගිල්ල) is an old five-storied building located at No. 24, on Sir Baron Jayatilaka Mawatha in Colombo Fort, Sri Lanka. History This building was built in 1908 by Clifford Lake & Company in accordance to the design by Edward Skinner, a British architect (Manathunga, 2016; Rajapakshe et al., 2018; Welandawe & Weerasinghe, 2016). At the time, it was known by the name "Freudenberg Building" as the main occupant of the building was Freudenberg & Co., an import and export company (Manathunga, 2016; Rajapakshe et al., 2018; Welandawe & Weerasinghe, 2016). In the beginning, Freudenberg & Co. used this building for their business activities mainly focused on coffee and oil trading (Manathunga, 2016; Rajapakshe et al., 2018). Later, Aitken Spence purchased the building and renamed it the "Lloyd's Building". Attribution 1) Colombo, Sri Lanka, September 2016 by hectorlo is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 Ref…
