Bayard Mill

Winter skies over Allouez Bay. From a distance, it looks almost fragile.

An alarm panel in the powerpplant, now demolished.

The gauges on left of frame are the steam pressure indicators for the various steam-powered components around the ship, like the steering engine and windlass motors. Below the gauges are a case of tiny wooden parts drawers… note the ancient oiling can on the locker near the upper-right corner of the frame.

The entrance to the area where staff could sleep.

Note the maps still left on the wall.

In the ward for the criminally insane, this door was the most-worn. Nail scratches mark the area around the peep hole, the wood is gouged everywhere from thrown chairs and hard kicks, and a ominous blood-colored stain is visible where it dripped in the second inset from the bottom. Aside from the damage, the coloring in this section was very vibrant, though it was probably little reprieve for those who had to work here.

Part of the unremodeled hospital, above the Service Building, where employees would stay sometimes.

Sleeping bags mark this former courtyard as a crash pad for the local homeless.

The mostly-empty distilling room is easy to spot from the outside because of the distinctive round window.
