Atlas Warehouse

Write up stolen from the 'Art In Ruins' website.(http://www.artinruins.com/arch/?id=decay&pr=atlas)

"Constructed in 1913, the five-story warehouses were intended as the two ends of a gargantuan warehouse at the Port of Providence. The middle sections were never constructed and the exposed, unfinished end walls of both buildings indicate the configuration originally intended for the complex. The Terminal Warehouse Company was incorporated in 1912. The buildings were used for the storage of freight from the State Pier, which laid 300 yards away at this time and was heavily used. When the building was first built it was deemed burglarproof and fireproof." 

The property is currently being demolished, and Providence is about to lose yet another historic building. Kind of sad, but it was only a matter of time. These photos were all taken with a crappy cellphone, so you'll have to excuse the quality.
