The Daily Photoist: Benjamin Moore Paint Factory

Each weekday, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

Perhaps this could be the start of a Walls Wide Open in Toronto. Not requiring any special access or standing in long line-ups, ayndroid found one wall taken down in a Benjamin Moore paint factory and got a peek of the demolished interior.
Rebar cascades over the gaping floors and dangles bits of concrete like icicle lights. A chunk of floor at least ten feet long seems to hang effortlessly. There’s definitely a peaceful mood to the industrial chaos.
