History

Its name comes from the Italian Casartelli family, who ran their scientific instrument manufacturing business from the site. It eventually became a wine warehouse before falling into disuse and disrepair.

By October 2000, the condition of the building was so poor that part of it collapsed, prompting the local newspaper, the "Liverpool Echo", to launch the Stop the Rot conservation campaign, with the Casartelli Building as its symbol of architectural and cultural neglect in the city centre.

Rebuilding

In January 2002, it was announced that an exact replica of the original building was to be constructed on the site, using as many original materials as possible. [cite web|url=http://www.downtownliverpool.org/archive/archive_nov05.htm|title=Back from the Dead? ] Construction was completed and the building, now restored to its former glory and converted to flats, was officially opened in March 2007.
