The machinery is still intact, there is a laboratory, a kitchen, offices, mechanical rooms, multiple floors (including an awesome but flooded basement), and an easily accessible roof. On the property nearby, there's awesome stuff to climb to get an amazing view of downtown Winnipeg. The basement that the ramp in the back of the property leads to has motion sensors that sounds a loud alarm.  Basic Information Type: Building Status: Demolished Accessibility: Difficult Recommendation: drop everything - must see  Physical Information Address Point Douglas Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada Owner: Gateway Industries  Hazards asbestos rust unsafe flooring flooding water air quality tons of mold, radioactive materials, other chemicals  Interesting Features Epic machinery, creepy basement, awesome rooftop view, rooms of junk, old files, cool signs, a fully stocked laboratory (that used to contain radioactive chemicals).  Security Measures fences barbed wire razor wire locked gates wooden boarding motion sensors  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 0  Required Equipment flashlight rope breathing mask gloves long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment  History Built sometime during World War 2 on a site that, despite being in central Winnipeg, had escaped development until then. It was a paperplant for making tar paper and later a soap plant in a separate building (see "Soap Tar Land"). Sometime in the late 90s, a sewer collapsed that was owned by the cities and the company wasn't informed - that resulted in massive amounts of chemicals leached into the ground and river, resulting in a massive fine being levied on the owner. The owner took it to court and had been fighting it ever since. As a result, the factory shut down and fell into a state of decay. The papermill has been abandoned completely (although still has power and fire suppression). Apparently the fire suppression wasn't as good as one would hope; on October 16th, 2011, it was destroyed by a major fire.

The building next to it ("soap tar land") is being restored and seems to be used as an office / storage building.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Papermill Tue, Apr 12th, 2011 posted by iagox86 13 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
