This building is located on an island in which a large and popular hotel used to reside. The hotel was closed in 2005 and sat empty until its demolition in 2019. This hotel was apparently one of the most cool and fun places to hangout in the entire city, so its closure was unfortunate. The reason for its closure(according to my dad) was due to the fact it sits right next to the lake and had violations with the DNR. Though it is gone, a small building and a footbridge still remain. I'm not sure what the purpose of this building was as only one door is accessible and it leads to a small room, while the rest are boarded off, and this leads me to a question since I'm new to all this.
How frowned upon is it by the UE community to remove boarding from doors and/or windows in order to gain access to the interior? I understand that this is clear vandalism, but I'm not sure exactly how people view it and I want to make sure I don't do something disrespectful, so any experiences and input is appreciated.
Here are some of the photos I took:
^The entrance to the footbridge.
^Someone must've passed away nearby, and this writing on the rail honors him
^The building that remains from the original hotel, fenced off probably due to demolition plans
^Main entrance
^Inside the two bins at the bottom were horrible arrays of carpet-like layers of spiderwebs and old wasp nests
^The inside at night. I didn't go in due to the amount of mold and lack of respirator. The next two are different angles.
I hope I can come back here another time to check out the other rooms, depending on the wooden board situation.
