Union Sreet, Greenock, has several large mansions, one having lain empty for some time. Purchased by a builder who discovered the property contained a number of unusual features such as secure metal doors in the basement, reinforced windows, and many office type rooms with furniture resembling that seen in wartime offices. Locals say it was fairly well used and guarded by the military during the war, and had not really been used as a home for many years, remaining locked up but maintained.
