Article source for : The vacant factory downtown...(photos and questions)
I was driving around and noticed a large vacant warehouse/factory that was striking. I visited the location, and did not do so with the intention of causing harm, or violating any privacy. The place was wide open. As a photographer, my favorite subject is urban decay, so this visit was one to document some decaying Toledo History.
*The building is unlocked - there are no security measures in place. The front door is wide open, literally.
*There are no signs posted against trespassing, or that it is private property.
*Anyone can just walk in.
*This place is dangerous, with some structural damage from a fire / exposure to the elements. There are some holes in the floors. I do not suggest exploring it.
*As an artist, urban and industrial decay are my favorite themes. I do not make money from my photos, so much as enjoy the art and sharing the photos to better document Toledo History.
Anyone have history with this place? What is its story?
First up, photos of outside this location.
