Up on the roof, great view of downtown.
| One of the elevator houses where all of the machines operated they were above the top floor. Nice old motor, still runs too apparently!
| More of the elevator house.
| "Chicks dig my balls man!"

An opening to the 6000 lb. freight elevator, its a long way down.
| Old Swinger sewing machine.
| Stuff, and lots of it.
| Keep the flashlights out of the windows guys! Geez.
|
There's a little flashlight dead nuts in the middle of the picture, right in front of the window. Thats the other end, this place must have been 150 yards square. Check out the concrete pillars too. Very constituent of 1950's building design.
| Looking straight down to the flooded basement, must be 70 or 80 feet down.
| Need school supplies?

The floors got more and more empty as you went down.
| The other freight elevator, rated at 4000 lbs.
| Mmmmmmmmmmmm, electricity.
| First floor, looking into the larger freight elevator.

My friend seemed to think this pencil sharpener was really old and cool so I took a pic for him.
| Cool office, its in great shape too. Love all of the glass.
| Wait, thats right all of the breakers were up! There is power in this place!
| Gov't regs, fairly recent too. I read this same poster when I worked at Ace Hardware a few years back.
|
The biggest most industrial thing I could find, gotta love the industrial cast iron and paint job. I think it's a milling machine.

Some sort of device, I figured you electronics guys would dig this. I have no idea what it is, but its really really old as far as electronics goes.
| Some sort of fluid transfer pump, didnt look at it close enough to find out whether its for pneumatics or hydraulics although I think it is for hydraulics.
| Pallet jacks from back in the day.
| Flooded basement, doesn't suprise me since its in the Menominee valley where the water level is so close to the ground. But at least we found out whether it had a sub-basement or not!
