    Can you imagine how cool it would be to have an office loft or for that matter turn it into condos in the shot tower building. What a view. Sad this is what it’s become.

    Thank you for the pictures. Here in Lincoln, many of the old buildings in the downtown area and the old rail yard are being converted to retail and condos on the upper floors. I’m happy to see them being saved and repurposed.

    Not really a winner. I knew it had to be either Winchester or Remington plant and after you said my New Haven guess was wrong it had to be Remington.

    Should have known the NY plant wasn't in that bad of shape and stuck with Bridgeport. The picture I posted came up under "Old Remington plant in llion, NY". So much for "google"

    I went back and forth like changing choke tubes trying to find the right one. LOL

    Great pictures, thanks

    This is the old Peters Cartridge factory in Kings Mills, Ohio. They transformed it into high-end apartments, business suites and a micro brewery with plans to further expand it in the future.
