Scale It Up
Sven July 1st, 2010
It’s inspiring to step into the vacant space left when industry moves on, and get a sense of the scale of what was once there.
This place once housed a large-scale timber operation, among other things, situated in a solidly industrial district. I have no idea how long it’s been since the last tenant moved on, but things are looking a bit worse for wear. Another vandalism-free site, though. While I doubt that anyone is particularly worried about the security of this particular complex, the district itself is patrolled heavily, and I doubt it would be worth the effort for casual destruction.
There isn’t much here, though – just steel. Big, empty shells that really tell nothing about the site’s past. If not for the old business signage, I’d have little idea what for what purpose this place had been used.
It’s all very generic, and I’ve no doubt the infrastructure that remains would suit any number of purposes. I may well drive back past in a few months to find it all up and operational, with the weathered old signage replaced by something new.
