On a freezing cold day in mid February of 2011, Ninja IX and I paid our first visit to the Westinghouse Boiler Room in Hamilton, Ontario. With bitter winds on our frozen faces, and a trail of footprints behind us in the snow, we approached the building to the rear of an active factory. Gaining entry was easy, and a collective sigh of relief was exhaled once inside. We were excited not only to have gotten in, but to be out of the elements in the bone chilling, spine tingling, freezing cold weather outside. At first, we were disappointed with the size of the building, as it was much smaller than we had anticipated. But the contents and colour inside this small building more than made up for what it lacked in size. We made quick work of photographing the buildings interior, spending less than a half an hour inside, and then continued on with our journey to our primary destination of the day: the Firestone Tire Factory.
Last weekend, the Westinghouse Boiler Room was the third of five locations visited on the East Meets West Tour with fellow explorers dallas, doom vs. and rockandrollfreak.
The four of us followed the path where mine and Ninja's footprints were buried in snow 18 months prior. With the hot summer sun beaming down on us in the thick humid air, we wiped sweat from our brows...
