Appleby Lodge, Grade II listed apartment building in Rusholme, Manchester, England
Eight three-storey red brick blocks from the 1930s form a U-shape around central gardens opposite Platt Fields Park on Wilmslow Road.
Construction started in 1936 under architects Gunton & Gunton with Peter Cummings, introducing the first Style Moderne apartment scheme in Manchester.
Sir John Barbirolli, a notable conductor, resided in the building from 1943 to 1963, commemorated by a Manchester City Council Blue Plaque.
The 102 apartments feature spacious entrance halls, high ceilings, and balconies, with residents sharing communal gardens and designated parking spaces.
The building showcases distinctive Streamline Moderne architecture with curved balconies, steel-framed windows, and stair towers with full-height small-paned windows.
