The Crushed Office Maze Complex

November 16th, 2010 by

History:
Sadly this location has no verified history at this time. Rumor is that before it was an office to major corporation,  it was used as a bomb factory during WW2.   What we can verify though is that the corporation that was located here used the building as its main office until a few years ago. When the company moved out of state, the vast Majority of employees were not transferred and either had to relocate with the company or find new jobs.  The 3 building complex was sold to a developer who for some time maintained the property and ran routine patrols around it.  Eventually they seemed to have given up on their redevelopment plan and sold it to another party who  then left it to rot. Local hooligans and neglect quickly wrecked the placed. Only a gut rebuild could make this property viable again, though in all likelihood demolition is the only option.

Adventure:
Entry couldn't be easier, though whether or not you really want to enter is a whole other subject. The rear buildings are fine, though the main office building was left abandoned with it's carpeting intact. Carpeting, exposed to the elements, becomes a breeding ground for all sorts of nasty smelling mold. The building itself isn't much to look at. Trashed offices, tagged walls, broken glass all over. If there were any historic details, they were long removed. The only thing that this place really has going for it is how huge it is - with a maze-like layout one can easily get lost in. Don't be surprised if you find yourself roaming around trying to figure out how to get back to the point at which to entered.
