The Richardson building has just received an award from the Appreciation of the Blind for Building and Architecture, or ABBA for short. This came as a shock to most people who have ever seen the building, but the Richardson building defended its title. “Most people don’t see me in my golden hour from 4:15 to 4:40 during winter when the sun hits just right. You’ve gotta get my good side”. The building, named after household legend Sir John Larkins Cheese Richardson, gracefully accepted the award against fellow nominees: Burns building, Greggs Coffee Factory, and the Sand Castle on Leith. ABBA’s annual awards were most popular in the 70’s, around the time the Richardson was erected, but have gained renewed appreciation.
