Cool place. I think #11 is either a place where mail would have been put, or a place where old punchcards were placed when clocking in and out.

They actually have started working on it but it seems like they're just gutting it for now.

I was thinking it was a clocking in/out machine because they had US Mailboxes all over the building.

Nice set and explore.

It looks nearly identical to an old bank in Winnipeg, which was abandoned and reconstructed years ago.

I believe it will be primarily used as apartments but there will also be retail stores and a video arcade at the bottom.

The machinery looks like a generator, maybe?
#11 looks like a punch card/clock system.
and #29 are telephone wiring blocks.

11 is time cards. I've seen many of those in my day. Being 50 has it's perks sometimes. Great set.

Thanks for the comments guys! This building was definitely one of the best URBEX trips I've been on so I'm glad I got to document it for you guys. I just wish I got in about a year or two ago when there wasn't any construction going on.

I definitely had a respirator the whole time I was in the building haha. It was sketch because they were gutting the place so I didn't even wanna risk it in the areas without warning sign.

I wish I could have taken more pictures but there were windows that faced the street that hadn't been covered so I didn't think it was worth the risk :/

Same here! I've heard about people getting in there but I could never find a P.O.E. until just recently
