So it was back to Seminole yesterday, and inside the sub-station (which was featured on the 13th), where I met with someone from Enwin who graciously allowed me inside to photograph the building.
Inside the front door, looking towards the front room.
The original lights are still there.
Great wrought iron details.
Looking back towards the front door.
Inside the main room.
This baby is all poured concrete. Built to last.
another view inside the main room.
The railing on the stairs to the basement.
The basement is another massive space, all poured concrete as well.
There is a conditional offer on the building, hopefully some kind of cool rehab is in the works.
Oh, my. I need to convert this into a loft.
C’mon Andrew, admit it… you couldn’t resist prying the back door open with a crowbar! [JK]
But serious, that’s a great catch, getting all those interior shots.
I lived on Albert up until about a few years ago, and someone has bought this and turned it into a living space. it would be neat to see what’s going on in there now.
Across the street from this building was another similarly coloured building, they yellow/beige brick with rectangular windows with red framing. It housed the Remington Rand, can anyone tell me about it? My dad worked some of the time in there during the early to mid 1950’s. I think they were building computers of a sort.
The building looks a lit different now. The trim is painted, there’s some small landscaping in front of the door. There’s a burm now on the front that covers the basement windows. An impressive little space. My grandmother lives just around the corner on Henry Ford Centre Dr (formally Cadillac).
