Did you know that the Dock Offices in Barry is a calendar building?
The dock offices are built in a calendar design. This means that the building is a reflection of numbers in a calendar.
There are four floors representing the four seasons in a year
Fifty two marble fireplaces representing the fifty two weeks in a year
Twelve panels in the porch for the twelve months in a year
Two circular windows, one on each side of the building – represent the sun and the moon
Seven lights behind the fanlight window, equal to seven days of the week
Three hundred and sixty five windows, one for every day of the year
A Portland stone staircase with thirty one stairs as most months have thirty one days
They don't make them like they use to!
