The old abandoned convent

the old abandoned convent

the abandoned paper mill

Outaouais, Quebec (Canada)

The antiquarian's house

the antiquarian's house

Its architecture reminds of the old ramparts of Quebec instead the image to which one is accustomed to power plants. Yet it is part of this canadian architectural style of the late nineteenth and much of the twentieth century. One of the few...
The abandoned theater

The drift of the concrete church

the drift of the concrete church

The abandoned assembly line

the abandoned assembly line

The Ogilvie widow's abandoned mansion
