Moving on to the next building on the other side of the overgrown yard. It had had another wing right there, but that had been demolished between 2012 and 2015.
The building has been abandoned for a long time. Why they chose to tear down only one wing of it remains a mystery.
At first I thought it was just an ordinary grocery store. It wouldn’t have been a miracle.
The weak spot in the building’s protection.
There was even a basement. It was locked. And I don’t go to places like this anyway.
Many layers of wallpaper on the wall of the demolished wing.
The first look inside. Judging by the amount of shelves this has indeed been some kind of a store, but not a grocery store.
It is starting to look more and more like a hardware store.
Those look like paint samples. I wish I would have gotten better pictures, but evening was coming and things were getting darker.
More shelves and drawers. Those are definitely paint and varnish cans.
Modern heating methods never reached this store.
A small side room with more shelves and drawers.
The store seen from the other direction. The previous building I explored can be seen through the window.
I could only access the store part of the building. There were probably apartments at the back, but they had entrances of their own. The yard was so overgrown, that I couldn’t reach that area, so my exploration was here.
All in all this yard and its buildings remains quite a mystery to me.
