Hamilton, Ontario Hot Spot (pics)
< on 7/9/2013 12:37 PM >

This is a location in Hamilton, Ontario that is a current hot spot of activity, although I don't think that many know about it.

The activity ranges from UR explorers (me), scavengers, druggies, and the police - the latter three being the most prominent. A trespassing fine is almost guaranteed.

I've been caught twice with my camera in hand and wasn't citated but almost all that I've talked to at this location have been given 'the fine.'

The site is unstable, toxic, and for a number of other reasons, dangerous.

Because of the varied, and often shady, activity at this location I'm not going to disclose the exact location. The location is slated for demolition which is slated to occur this week or next week.

I'm not shooting for 'Photographer of the Year' with these photos: it's a get-in-and-get-out sort of place with no time to stand around and take a series of perfect shots.

Set 1.

Well I'm a little bit disgusted that I drove right by this location yesterday and somehow failed to notice it, even with all the fencing in front of it and the demo that has been started!

Must be quite recent, as Streetview doesn't even show signs of vacancy yet. If you don't mind me asking, how many different buildings did your pics come from? Successful interiors, I mean.

I'm not surprised that people have been caught going in there. The place isn't exactly in the middle of nowhere.

I think they began tearing it down today or yesterday as well, I noticed some demo equipment in the back as I passed by this morning.

Shame about such nice buildings being destroyed but I agree, they're far beyond repair. Hopefully something nice will replace them.

There was a fire in the basement of one of the units (probably the one which was torn down already) back in December. Given the age of the row buildings and shoddy renovations which undermined the firewalls, the fire was able to jump across roofs to other structures along the same row and cause a massive amount of damage, putting people out of their homes in the process. Most people had to leave everything behind. There was a news article on this recently but I'm not posting it as it would reveal the location of the place. If you live in Hamilton though, you most likely already know where it is anyway.

Totally awesome find!

Looks like the whole community "has to go" ... sucks to see people's homes come to this ...

Demo has started and the main property that was demolished earlier has been taken to the dump. The houses to the left and right are slated for demo in the near future.
