This is SO COOL! I've always wondered what the heck that building was. I'd always assumed it was either an abandoned construction project or some sort of fire fighting training facility. Thank you for doing the research and making this video!
I lived a block away from that structure. It was turned into a second grain elevator. I watched them use a wrecking ball to bust up the heavy wood structure. That was in the mid 80s.
Awesome as all ways! Have you done one around the McCreary/Norgate area? If not can you please? Am always interested in the heritage of the province I grew up in! 🙂

I always thought it was something that was started but was never completed. I've been curious about this building for years!
I need to know more!
My Dad always told me something along the lines of a distillery.
good stuff.
Great episode as always, Gordon.
finally,an explanation. But who owns it now?
Drive by that skeleton every day on my way to work and never knew what is was. Thanks Gord!
