Today on Dvojka there was a wonderful documentary about the founding of Vysočany, so I thought I would share with you this beauty, which has remained here as a silent witness of the glory of the Kolben Electrotechnical Factory. It is the production hall of Electrical Instruments, or Mechanics, built in 1922 according to the project of the well-known Ing. Karel Skorkovsky. The building is articulated by three distinctive staircase buttresses and remarkable constructions of the concrete skeleton of the building. It is a reinforced concrete storey hall with flat concrete ceilings in the basement with columns of the Considére...

Today on Dvojka there was a wonderful documentary about the founding of Vysočany, so I thought I would share with you this beauty, which has remained here as a silent witness of the glory of the Kolben Electrotechnical Factory. It is the production hall of Electrical Instruments, or Mechanics, built in 1922 according to the project of the well-known Ing. Karel Skorkovsky. The building is articulated by three distinctive staircase buttresses and remarkable constructions of the concrete skeleton of the building. It is a reinforced concrete storey hall with flat concrete ceilings in the basement with columns of the Considére system with mushroom capitals (the oldest building of this type in the country) and with characteristic Bechyně frames for a span of 9.65 m in the upper two floors, with a frame truss structure. So says the monument catalogue. In 1927 the building was extended to include a dispatch warehouse. In the basement you can see the reinforcement under the passing tracks, otherwise it is safe to move around except for those pigeons... Sadly, unlike the cooling tower, it has no listed building and is deteriorating faster and faster. Hopefully someone will "save" it like its younger sister, which is now being turned into apartments.
Dnes dávali na Dvojce nádherný dokument o vzniku Vysočan, tak mě napadlo podělit se s vámi o tuhle krásku, která tu zůstala jako němý svědek slávy Kolbenovo elektrotechnické továrny. Jde o výrobní halu Elektrických přístrojů, požději Mechanika, postavenou v roce 1922 dle projektu nám již známého ing. Karla Skorkovského. Budova je členěna třemi výraznými schodišťovými rizality a pozoruhodnými konstrukcemi betonového skeletu stavby. Jde o železobetonovou etážovou halu s plochými betonovými stropy v suterénu se sloupy systému Considére s hřibovými hlavicemi (nejstarší stavba tohoto typu u nás) a s charakteristickými Bechyněho rámy na rozpon 9,65 m v horních dvoutraktových podlažích, s rámovou konstrukcí krovu. Tak hovoří památkový katalog. V roce 1927 byl objekt prodloužen o expediční skladiště. Ve sklepení je vidět zpevnění pod procházejícími kolejemi, jinak je pohyb po ní bezpečný už leda pro ty holuby... Bohužel nemá na rozdíl od chladící věže památkovou ochranu a chátrá čím dál rychleji. Snad jí někdo "zachrání" jako její mladší sestru, z které teď vznikají byty.
