Built in 1916, this 570,000 square foot Cleveland industrial building produced automated machines, among other things. In 1995, the company was sold to another tool-producing entity. When that company went bankrupt in 1999, a real estate holding company purchased the building, leasing back a portion of the space until 2002, when the company moved to Twinsburg. The property was in the news in 2012 after the building was leased for cardboard and paper recycling. Tons of cardboard and paper, along with garbage, were dumped at the factory, filling most of the first floor. A portion of the structure was demolished without proper asbestos remediation, leaving debris scattered, trash blowing in the wind, and asbestos released into the air. Three men were arrested on various charges, most involving illegal dumping and violating the Clean Air Act. There are still 30,000 to 40,000 tons of trash in the building following EPA remediation of the asbestos. The EPA does not consider the rest of the garbage harmful and will not finish the cleanup. 1.

Thanks guys! The whole first floor smells like something died, especially when the wind is blowing through that missing wall.
