11,000 Acres

Like a grave marker, a single post remembers where Dock 3 stood on the bay.

Looking up at the network of elevators at the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. Its train shed doors stand open under the void where conveyors should be. You can see where they used to connect on the left and right. The outside of the building is covered in racist graffiti.

A look at the Longmont Sugar Mill in May 2014.

Fake Fact: The term ‘stovetop hat’ was coined by Island Station’s architect while trying to explain why he wanted to put the steel chimney on the station. ‘Live Here’ was part of the advertising when the building was host to artist lofts. They weren’t kidding.

Water turned the taconite powder into a rusty, slippery paste… everywhere the water pooled up, doubling the beauty from certain special angles.

The new concrete workhouse, as seen through chickenwire.

The end of the dock, done quickly and cheaply with wood. The towers were for lights, so ships could be loaded at all hours.

Looking out from what little remains of the second floor at the poor house, which was in terrible condition. No roof and no floors. Soon to be ruins.
