A Grade II listed building, transformed from a tram shed into a residential and leisure complex by a Bradford developer, has gone on show to the public.
The Tramways development at White Cross, Guiseley, was opened to the public for the first time at the weekend.
The historic building, which once acted as a terminus for trams from Leeds, has been converted into 21 one and two bedroom apartments.
Another part of the building is to be turned into a Cannons health club, due to open later this year.
The £3 million project is the latest undertaken by Shipley-based Magellan Residential.
Managing director Stephen Day said the challenging nature of the Tramways project was typical of those Magellan was keen to get involved in.
"It is obviously a Grade II listed tram shed and the challenge has been to complement its features with the features of contemporary living," he said.
"The scheme is generating significant interest. The apartments are high on city style, yet they are set in a semi-rural location. The wonderful stone masonry of the original building is an exceptional backdrop to the newly incorporated contemporary features such as the open courtyard and the new glass and stainless steel staircase." Magellan, which has its headquarters in Ashley Lane, Shipley, is only two years old but has already built a reputation for quality.
The Guiseley development has transformed the look of the historic building which had, most recently, been used as an Arnold Laver DIY store. The building was originally opened in 1914 as the new Guiseley depot for Leeds City Council Tramways, designed by Leeds architect Sidney Kitson.
