The Daily Photoist: Benjamin Moore Paint Factory

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.
