16th and Queen St. Images

By Brian | Published: October 19, 2009

Here are some images of a very interesting building on the corner of 16th and Queen St. I spoke with a nice gentleman who is leasing the building next door and he told me that this building use to be a military hangar and the arched section in the back was once twice as long, extending into what is now a parking area. I’m not sure when the hangar area was shortened to its current length. I will have a lot more to say on these places later, as I am currently writing an essay on the value of public space and the effects of abandoned places in an urban environment.

I’m glad you went to check this place out, I live on 14th and Queen and was going to recommend it. I always wondered what it used to be.
