Brick Graffiti- JN 2-27-39

The man behind the curtain watches, but doesn’t say anything. Probably the smartest one in the room.

A tunnel that brought heat from the power plant to the Hart House. Since that building was demolished, this only served as a fallout shelter. To my knowledge, this was never used to move bodies to the incinerator. That was probably done with a vehicle and the lower entrance to the power station, which did dispose of TB victims for some time.

Carvings on the back of a barracks building.

A little sheet metal box somehow made it back home.

Looking toward downtown, one is reminded that when Stahlmann built here in 1855 that it was on the very edge of the city.

The historic entrance of the mill, alongside the (relatively) new Great Western offices.

I am not sure what caused the discoloration, but two of the walls near the door to the machine shop are stained yellow-red. I assume this had to do with the walls in relation to blowing piles of iron ore, and that the walls have been partly infused with iron oxide. Any other ideas?
