Moving on to the next location, which is a kind of funny one: it is only half abandoned.
This here is a former bank. It was built in 1966 and even robbed in 1990. I have no idea when it closed.
The building consists of this wing, which is the former bank, and an apartment wing, where probably some bank staff lived. It has two apartments.
If I understand correctly, this box was used to pay bills in the era before internet banking. You would place a slip with the payment information in it and it would then be processed. Boomers, please educate me, if I’m wrong.
The business wing last housed a pizzeria, which closed in 2016, and the building has stood empty ever since. The plan is to demolish it and add two more apartments to the existing ones, which still are occupied.
What remains of the restaurant as seen through a window.
The demolition permit expired way back in 2023. When I last visited, the building still stood.
