Description
From a recent afternoon of UE.This was an old mill building that had seen other uses since than and for years has been left sitting empty and dilapidated. After wandering throughout this building I ended up heading to the top floor. To get up the last two stories where the staircases had fallen away required me to use ladders stuck through holes in the floors. Upon getting up there I decided it was well worth it.
The windows look out from between an upper and lower section of original slate roofing. Large notched support beams and bolt systems support the massive weight of the roof. The building is now under renovation and plans for the top floor include mechanical systems for the building and a penthouse. Hopefully the majority of it is used for the latter and is left exposed to be enjoyed.

Is it allowed to wander into old buildings like this? I always thought maybe someone would be watching...lol XD Hah, I'll say again that your town seems so different from mine. Of course I don't live on the edge and go exploring abandoned buildings.... >3>

Allowed? Well uh, not quite...XD
The buildings are all private property and at the time were locked/boarded up. I happened to find my way into them... The staircases were long gone so to get to this top floor I actually had to use some ladders stuck through holes in the floors to get up the last two stories. The day after I explored them taking pics they started a large scale restoration project to rehabilitate the area. They've got some great plans and have already done a LOT of work. I'm hoping to get back in there for some of the "after" shots.
