Grand Trunk Cold Storage is located in the heart of the Milwaukee Junction area in close proximity to the railway. Ghost signs on the south and north side of the building say Division of Beatrice Foods Co. North east loading dock areas were demolished before I got a chance to explore them. The interior is similar to being in the midst of a dark wind tunnel. Long exposure times sans tripod meant that no photos of the inside turned out well. The first floor is mainly concrete columns’ and empty space. The view from the roof of the building and water tower were the most memorable… after the smell. This building was unpleasant to explore for this reason.
Distant traffic on the I-75 and banging of the large incinerator nearby are the only other audible sounds while inside. The east side has ample evidence of a major fire. A flock of large birds, maybe pheasant were startled by my approach. Desolation of the surrounding lands going east were unusual considering the amount of manufacturing activity that once saturated this area.
