Bel-Red is an industrial neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington , located in the northeastern portion of the city.
56-464: Bel-Red was developed in the 1960s for warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and was named for its location between the cities of Bellevue and Redmond . The area was re-zoned to support non-industrial uses in 2009, paving the way for the development of the Spring District , a mixed-use district in the western Bel-Red area. Bel-Red is served by Bel-Red Road, which runs diagonally through
112-468: A dedicated cold storage facility on-site. These catered for the overseas trade. They became the meeting places for overseas wholesale buyers where printed and plain could be discussed and ordered. Trade in cloth in Manchester was conducted by many nationalities. Behrens Warehouse is on the corner of Oxford Street and Portland Street . It was built for Louis Behrens & Son by P Nunn in 1860. It
168-712: A domestic storeroom. But as attested by legislation concerning the levy of duties, some medieval merchants across Europe commonly kept goods in their large household storerooms, often on the ground floor or cellars. An example is the Fondaco dei Tedeschi , the substantial quarters of German traders in Venice, which combined a dwelling, warehouse, market and quarters for travellers. From the Middle Ages on, dedicated warehouses were constructed around ports and other commercial hubs to facilitate large-scale trade. The warehouses of

The original designation was a point on a map near 136th Avenue Northeast and Spring Boulevard, the original location of the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Francia Russell Center. The BelRed Arts District has a wide array of arts organizations, businesses, artists and makers working across the district. The City of Bellevue is committed to further envisioning the arts district and building on past studies and outreach to cement
336-464: A more precise dating of Roman pottery types, the "Baths of the Swimmer", named for the mosaic figure in the apodyterium , were meticulously excavated, in 1966–70 and 1974–75, in part as a training ground for young archaeologists and in part to establish a laboratory of well-understood finds as a teaching aid. It has been estimated that two-thirds of the ancient town are as yet unexcavated. In 2014,
392-413: A naval base, and in 267 BC, during the first Punic war , it was the seat of the quaestor Ostiensis in charge of the fleet. During the 2nd century BC its role as a commercial port gradually became prevalent for the imports of grain for the city of Rome, and buildings began to spread outside the castrum. Ostia was a scene of fighting during the period of civil wars in the 80s BC. In 87 BC Marius attacked
448-484: A peak of some 100,000 inhabitants in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Ostia itself was provided with all the services a town of the time could require; a large theatre, many public baths (such as the Thermae Gavii Maximi, or Baths at Ostia ), numerous taverns and inns and a firefighting service. The popularity of the cult of Mithras is evident in the discovery of eighteen Mithraea . Ostia also contained
504-405: A range of commercial functions besides simple storage, exemplified by Manchester's cotton warehouses and Australian wool stores: receiving, stockpiling and despatching goods; displaying goods for commercial buyers; packing, checking and labelling orders, and dispatching them. The utilitarian architecture of warehouses responded fast to emerging technologies. Before and into the nineteenth century,
560-450: A small harbour on the Tiber , and then proceeded with establishing the new colony 10 km (6 mi) further west and closer to the sea coast. An inscription seems to confirm the establishment of the old castrum of Ostia in the 7th century BC. The oldest archaeological remains so far discovered date back to only the 4th century BC. The most ancient buildings currently visible are from
616-420: A storage temperature as low as −25 °C. Cold storage helps stabilize market prices and evenly distribute goods both on demand and timely basis. The farmers get the opportunity of producing cash crops to get remunerative prices. The consumers get the supply of perishable commodities with lower fluctuation of prices. Ammonia and Freon compressors are commonly used in cold storage warehouses to maintain

#1732787223626672-455: A warehouse complex on the road towards Ostia, demonstrates that these buildings could be substantial, even by modern standards. Galba's horrea complex contained 140 rooms on the ground floor alone, covering an area of some 225,000 square feet (21,000 m ). As a point of reference, less than half of U.S. warehouses today are larger than 100,000 square feet (9290 m ). The need for a warehouse implies having quantities of goods too big to be stored in
728-916: A warehouse may be referred to as a godown . There are also godowns in the Shanghai Bund . A warehouse can be defined functionally as a building in which to store bulk produce or goods ( wares ) for commercial purposes. The built form of warehouse structures throughout time depends on many contexts: materials, technologies, sites, and cultures. In this sense, the warehouse postdates the need for communal or state-based mass storage of surplus food. Prehistoric civilizations relied on family- or community-owned storage pits , or 'palace' storerooms, such as at Knossos , to protect surplus food. The archaeologist Colin Renfrew argued that gathering and storing agricultural surpluses in Bronze Age Minoan 'palaces'
784-400: A warehouse to store and distribute the goods in response to local sales demands. This process includes managing tasks such as sorting, packaging, and delivering straight from the local warehouse accordingly. Overseas warehouses can be principally divided into two types: Self-operated and Third-party public service warehouses. Self-operated overseas warehouses are established and administered by
840-502: Is a four-storey predominantly red brick build with 23 bays along Portland Street and 9 along Oxford Street. The Behrens family were prominent in banking and in the social life of the German Community in Manchester. An Overseas warehouse refers to storage facilities located abroad. It plays a pivotal role in cross-border e-commerce trade, where local businesses transport goods en masse to desired market countries then establish
896-404: Is important for the success of a cold storage facility. It should be in close proximity to a growing area as well as a market, be easily accessible for heavy vehicles, and have an uninterrupted power supply. Plant attached cold storage is the preferred option for some manufacturers who want to keep their cold storage in house. Products can be transported via conveyor straight from manufacturing to

A huge 4th century villa east of the Maritime baths was built. The river port on the western edge of the town
1008-441: Is more economical in operation. The temperature necessary for preservation depends on the storage time required and the type of product. In general, there are three groups of products, foods that are alive (e.g. fruits and vegetables), foods that are no longer alive and have been processed in some form (e.g. meat and fish products), and commodities that benefit from storage at controlled temperature (e.g. beer, tobacco).

South of Ostia many rich villa-estates were developed from the Republican era along the coast road to Laurentum . Pliny described the route towards his villa there: “There are two different roads to it: if you go by that of Laurentum, you must turn off at
1120-610: The Ostia Synagogue , the earliest synagogue yet identified in Europe. Although it used to be thought that the city entered a period of slow decline after Constantine the Great made Portus a municipality, indicated by some apartment blocks being replaced by houses of the rich, recent excavations show that the town continued to thrive. Numerous baths are recorded as still operating in the 4th and 5th centuries with major repairs of
1176-595: The outskirts of cities, towns, or villages. Warehouses usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods directly from railways , airports , or seaports . They often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets and then loaded into pallet racks . Stored goods can include any raw materials, packing materials, spare parts , components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing, and production. In India and Hong Kong,

It took several decades for electrical power to be distributed widely throughout cities in the western world. 20th-century technologies made warehousing ever more efficient. Electricity became widely available and transformed lighting, security, lifting, and transport from
1344-406: The 1900s. The internal combustion engine , developed in the late 19th century, was installed in mass-produced vehicles from the 1910s. It not only reshaped transport methods but enabled many applications as a compact, portable power plant, wherever small engines were needed. The forklift truck was invented in the early 20th century and came into wide use after World War II . Forklifts transformed

The opus quadratum of the walls of the original castrum at Ostia provide important evidence for the building techniques that were employed in Roman urbanisation during the period of the Middle Republic . Ostia probably developed originally as

In the post-war period, the first volume of the official series Scavi di Ostia appeared in 1954; it was devoted to a topography of the town by Italo Gismondi and after a hiatus the research still continues today. Though untouched areas adjacent to the original excavations were left undisturbed awaiting
1568-459: The basic European warehouse was built of load-bearing masonry walls or heavy-framed timber with a suitable external cladding. Inside, heavy timber posts supported timber beams and joists for the upper levels, rarely more than four to five stories high. A gabled roof was conventional, with a gate in the gable facing the street, rail lines or port for a crane to hoist goods into the window-gates on each floor below. Convenient access for road transport
1624-552: The capacity of manual labour to lift and move heavy goods. Two new power sources, hydraulics , and electricity, re-shaped warehouse design and practice at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century. Public hydraulic power networks were constructed in many large industrial cities around the world in the 1870s-80s, exemplified by Manchester . They were highly effective to power cranes and lifts, whose application in warehouses served taller buildings and enabled new labour efficiencies. Public electricity networks emerged in

The poet Rutilius Namatianus reported the lack of maintenance of the city ports in 414 AD. This view has been challenged by Boin who states Namatianus' verse is a literary construct and inconsistent with the archaeological record. Prosperity in the 5th century

Sellers send bulk products from their home country to an overseas warehouse where the staff undertakes inventory and shelving. When a buyer places an order, the seller sends delivery instructions to the warehouse system and local delivery is then executed based on those instructions. 2. In instances of issues with sellers' accounts or incorrect labels, goods need to be returned to

This harbour was not sufficiently protected from storms, and needed to be supplemented by the hexagonal harbour built by Trajan and finished in 113 AD. Also at a relatively short distance was the harbour of Civitavecchia ( Centum Cellae ) developed by Trajan. These ports took business away from Ostia and began its commercial decline. Nevertheless, Ostia grew to

Ammonia refrigerant is cheaper, easily available, and has a high latent heat of evaporation , but it is also highly toxic and can form an explosive mixture when mixed with fuel oil. Insulation is also important, to reduce the loss of cold and to keep different sections of the warehouse at different temperatures. There are two main types of refrigeration system used in cold storage warehouses: vapor absorption systems (VAS) and vapor-compression systems (VCS). VAS, although comparatively costlier to install,

During the industrial revolution of the mid 18th century, the function of warehouses evolved and became more specialised. The mass production of goods launched by
3024-462: Was a critical ingredient in the formation of proto-state power. The need for warehouses developed in societies in which trade reached a critical mass requiring storage at some point in the exchange process. This was highly evident in ancient Rome, where the horreum (pl. horrea) became a standard building form. The most studied examples are in Ostia , the port city that served Rome. The Horrea Galbae ,
3080-428: Was built-in via very large doors on the ground floor. If not in a separate building, office and display spaces were located on the ground or first floor. Technological innovations of the early 19th century changed the shape of warehouses and the work performed inside them: cast iron columns and later, moulded steel posts; saw-tooth roofs ; and steam power. All (except steel) were adopted quickly and were in common use by
