Here are some shots I took with my (cruddy) phone camera during a tour of Globe Mills last year:



The open portions of the building near the front. They were ravaged by an out of control fire, but the structure was built to be strong enough to withstand dust explosions. The wood beams in the floor were so sturdy that they are simply having the char scraped off and the old-growth wood will be reused in the project. The pipes in the lower photo help prop up a weakened wall.


Some industrial machinery in the plant: the pulley/shaft system was connected to a big electric motor. As mentioned above, a lot of the heavy mechanical gear will be left in place, to become chunky decor for the residence.


A couple of shots out of windows into Alkali Flat and towards downtown.

A shot towards the dairy.

Don't open. This door opens out into...nothing, seven stories up. Ouch.
