I felt like I was playing Fallout 3 in real life.

Thanks to advances in digital photography, the Kodak manufacturing plant at Eglinton West and Black Creek Drive in Toronto closed its doors in 2005.   The only building that currently remains is Building #9, or what used to be the employees’ building.   As far as I know, the land has been purchased but no decision has been made yet about what to do with the lot.

Curtain Down

Absolutely No Smoking

These signs were everywhere – with a typo: “Absolutily No Smoking”.

Kodak Building #9

look before you go through doorways

The building used to be connected to other buildings. Now all that’s left is doors to nowhere.

Windows

Windy

I was surprised these curtains were still here after all this time.

Leaving
