Flywheel Room

The elevator works on gravity… this is where a conveyor belt was to move the grain toward the main elevator to be loaded into ships.

The water tower no doubt made good scrap after it hit the ground.

This ornamental stair is cast iron and used to connect all floors of the Administration building. Now it connects the first and second floor, then the third and fourth floors, with a strange cinder block and drywall barrier separating the new and old sections of the building. Note the insulation on the floor to seal heat into the lower floors that were used as offices until the hospital closed. On the corners of the staircase are lions, on the corners of the suspended section of stair are down-hanging pineapples. Set in the stairs themselves are shield motifs with slate tops.

A mid-line polishing booth. It was fun to see the thousands of lasers and other sensors that guided the robotic arms and tools around the bodies as they passed. Note the red/green stop/go lights in the distance.

Outside the Chateau, where the fuel oil tank blocks the chapel.

A closeup of the pulleys atop Manitoba Pool #3 which once pulled conveyor belts full of grain across the cupola building as it was sorted into the silos below.

A matrix panorama of the brewhouse staircase, post-scrapping. So pretty…

This drying house was full of ventilation ducts, broken scales, and insulated carts to haul powder around the line.
