I've been going to this site for three years and probably have hundreds of photos, both above ground and underground...following the creek. I think of these structures as sculpture and I hate to see well-intentioned urban developers remove structures that can't be rebuilt. For me, this sculpture adds visual texture and interest to the waterfront area. The Fry warehouse was unique in that it was a triangular building. The towers have an interesting design and I have seen blue herons perched along the top edges. It seems that these structures could have been renovated for new uses.
