Spent about 3 hours wandering the other day with my boyfriend. I think this will be our last visit as the building is very unsound and extremely vandalized. The roof is pretty much nonexistent at this point and it's very damp and humid inside. There is talk of demolishing starting Fall 2019 which is why I really wanted to get some pictures.
Some background history:
The company was founded in 1869, and the building was built around 1888. Closed in the mid 80s and has sat abandoned since.

Looks like a pretty cool place! I really liked that crane.

Droool. That place is beautiful. I can only imagine the morning light cutting through all those holes. Good stuff!

we really wanna go back when it isnt so hot, it was so humid inside we could barley breath

I am sad to report, they have started demolition on this building.

Been here before, looks like you had a good trip. Sad to hear they started demolishing it.
