There are several spots in this building where there are large holes in the floor, some of which will drop you 4+ stories down. Many of these are covered by plywood, or easy to miss so always be aware of where you're walking. The building is also home to some nasty smelling and sometimes toxic chemicals and other substances used in the manufacturing of animal feed. These are mainly found in the mill portion of the building and they are often times found in large pools scattered about. Besides those nasty's, there is also a ton of rotton grain dust all over. There are also armed, aggresive scapers here on a regular basis.

Large, open warehouse/packaging areas, old freight elevator shaft, lots of old machinery, cool multi-level roof with tons of catwalks and other climb-able things.

Long sleeves and pants, as exposure to grain dust can result in skin irritation in some people.
|
|
|
gloves, work boots, and some sort of breathing mask/filter is highly recommended, especially if you plan on exploring some of the nasty sections.

Demolition has begun (as of June-2010). They are moving very quickly and have already demo'd the northern-most section of the structure, (the 1-level shipping/receiving warehouse and loading docks and the windows have been completely removed through the whole place.
Here's the jest of the future or the property quoted from a city of Minneapolis website:
Mills site, an abandoned grain milling operation on an approximately 3.5-acre lot
directly across Hiawatha Avenue from the 38th Street LRT station. The site is
currently occupied by a vacant industrial bulk storage building with an attached dock
and shipping area.
Longfellow Station will be a green-oriented and pedestrian-friendly project with
approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space, 196 housing units and 241 surface
and underground parking spaces serving the commercial and residential uses. The
project will consist of two newly constructed five-story buildings with four levels of
rental apartments above first floor commercial/retail space. Forty units (20 percent
of the total number of units) will be affordable at 50 percent of the MMI (metropolitan
median income), in compliance with the City’s Unified Housing Policy. Of the
remaining 156 units, 28 will be affordable at 60 percent of MMI, 20 will be affordable
at 80 percent of MMI, and 108 will be market-rate.
The project design includes green roof sections, an innovative storm water runoff
pond system, and an internal system of pedestrian connections. The proposed site
plan and a project elevation are attached as Exhibit 6.
The Longfellow Station project will be a step toward implementing the vision
articulated in the 38th Street Station Area Plan and may be a catalyst for future
development in the station area and along the Hiawatha LRT Corridor.
