Opsal Steel Building

My love affair with this structure started several years ago but I only began photographing it last year. I have walked around the building a few different times looking for interesting angles, textures, details... you name it.



The city plans to restore it and develop the entire area. I have many shots of the exterior. See more of my Opsal Steel Building photos.




To my surprise, on one of the days I was taking photos, the side door was wide open. The structure inside is just incredible. The massive wooden beams are quite impressive. I can see why it should be preserved. I was only able to get one ugly shot of the interior.



I would love to shoot inside before it gets taken apart. It is slated to be restored. They will number each beam, disassemble & store offsite, excavate the land and then re-assemble it along with a hi-rise or two.
