The Daisy Rolling Mill has been heavily altered since it was built in the 1890s.

After demolition in the mid 2000s, this interior door became exterior. I remember walking through the car shed as a teenager. It was a shortcut, if I didn’t get caught.

A huge steam pipe snakes between catwalks, through the floors, and toward the condensers, so the water could be recovered and reused.

The Atlas D command building. As Brutalist as it gets.

Local kids probably call this the ‘Shootin’ Shack’, judging by its war wounds.

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.

I am sure even the workers had trouble remembering which pillar hid the phone. Note the “ON” written on the electrical socket, too.

This is one of the modern nurse’s stations where the last inpatients lived in the mid-2000s. The windows are thick shatterproof plastic. I am unsure why the suspended ceiling is missing.
