Warehouse District by bkbinthecity

Warehouse District

So I decided to use a shot from yesterday as I was so busy running errands after work to get ready for the Easter Weekend.
This is another shot from the old warehouse district downtown. This is Beaver House which was the Hudson Bay Co. Warehouse. One of the reasons I like this is the fact that in the back there once were railroad tracks and boxcars would be dropped off to be unloaded. If you look closely at the back you can see a doorway. This is where the train would come through and leave the boxcar behind
Today it is home to a few different businesses and currently has space to lease
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend everyone
this building could tell a lot of stories and the people who worked in it!
