Brick Graffiti- M.H. ’56; Al Malmsten ’44

As the Barker steamed past the dock and island, the sunset casts the shadow of the Taconite Harbor receiving trestle on the boat. Through the fog, you can see some of the islands that were joined into a breakwater.

In what used to be a hallway under what used to be a skyway, each with what had conveyor belts for the grain that once was stored here. The fog doesn’t change.

Trees between duplexes overshadow the buildings they were planted to shield; revenge for the boards on the windows.

A panoramic view of the sintering plant’s gas plant (?). Everyone who visits must get a picture of these rusty smokestacks!

Camera: Pentax 67.

Sunset came fast, and when the good light died inside the Industrial Loft, I walked around the back to find the whole complex glowing.

The sidewalks are littered with rocks.

The bridge here moved workers between the dock, the approach tracks, and refueling buildings.
