It's on North Hogan Street, between Church and Ashley Streets.  It's the building in the background.

This building was developed by R.L. Jones in 1926 to house his Standard Furniture Company.  Later his sons purchased his older brother's Jones Furniture Company on Main Street, and merged the two companies.  Great shots Nomeus.  What has been left in this building appears to be pretty interesting.

Lofts!  If only....it's only a couple of blocks from the bus station and skyway stations.

Excellent shots. The first one (with the bolt cutters) is especially unnerving.

Thanks.

thanks everyone :)

we were going to cut the lock off after many failed attempts at using what i was told was the correct lock combo but then it finally worked. didnt have to cut it off after all. place is pretty photogenic if you get in around sunset.
