The old must go

This is the last industrial plant in the center of Warsaw. It used to be the largest printing house in Poland, but no one has printed here for many years. I pass this demolition every day and only got interested in it today. I noticed chairs upstairs, as if someone was about to sit down there.

Sad to see knowing this was a printing house. It's a great shot to document the scene.

I agree the chairs add intrigue to the scene.

Very interesting detail… the stacks of chairs look very usable… surprising they weren’t removed before demolition began. This shot has so much to look at… nice tight composition.

I feel the same as Mags. I guess there is not the need for printing houses on such a large scale anymore. I still read a hard copy newspaper every day, but I know I am in the minority. Your photo captures the changing times.

What a great capture! It's like a surgery when you finally got to see inside!

I saw the chairs instantly and thought "How could anyone forget to bring the chairs?!" Good catch! Sorry to see a company go- but I guess space in the city is always in demand.

Nothing lasts forever

I wondered about the chairs. When I first looked at the photo I thought they were a piano and pondered on why anyone would slice up an apartment building so close to the living area.

[Babs]

Always sad to see old buildings go.

[Shutterbug]

Used to be people’s lives in there.

[Suzanne]

So much of interest happening in this photo, I had t keep looking at it for a while

[Issi Bannerman]

Yes, there's something very sad about those chairs. An interesting slice of the demolition.

[Merrelyn]

Nicely documented.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This is so interesting looking.

[Margaret Brown]

Well caught, hope it’s making way for something needed and useful to the community

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Intriguing shot!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Nice composition

Love this. The insides exposed oddly before being demolished.
