Got this link of another web site. Pictures of the old factory before most of it was demolished.

Wow, lots of excellent photos. What a kick it would have been to go exploring in those buildings before they were taken down.

Thanks for sharing.

Okay, several questions:

The building depicted, when was it built?

When was it demolished?

When were these photographs taken, and how long had the building been abandoned prior to these pictures being taken?

What is on the site now, or what plans are for the site?

The bankruptcy papers had July 1987 dates on them and the date on the labor violation sheet was dated April 24, 1985
