Eye sore . . . (taken summer 2006)
or missed opportunity for a memorial to an industrial past? I just . . .
miss the dome! That end of the harbor has lost its distinction. (foto May 2007)
Loose bricks and a bare slab is all that remains.
Below are two more images by Will Van Dorp from July 2007.
Closer up. Post-apocalyptic . . . with Red Hook cranes in the background.

These are amazing photographs. The industries that used to line the edges of the waterways in Vancouver back 30 – 50 years ago were the visible underbelly or our modern way of life then, much the same as these buildings in your photos are historical remnants of activities that were the life blood of large communities’ economies. Your photographs are for historians, and of interest since the demolishing of such areas removes them from awareness generally. Thanks so much for posting these – you have an intelligent eye! G
