opsal skeletal


The long suffering OPSAL STEEL building on the corner of West 2nd Avenue and Quebec Street has finally been stripped of its tattered wood cladding and now sits as a hulking carcass with its innards mostly gutted...

The two photos below are from a series I took of the building a few years ago when reindeer still dared to land on its roof and perched there for a while...
