Warehouse In Tallinn, Picture 1- Another modern ruin from Estonia, that really depicts the word...ruin...

- Someone might notice that the coordinates are the same for this warehouse and for the granary. That is because, both of these are located side by side. Actually these are not the only abandoned and ruined buildings around and what's even more funny, is that these are located in the middle of Tallinn.

- I've been actually reading about the area and it seems, that in the near future these will be demolished along with the rest of the buildings and a some kind of shopping center etc, will be build to the area. Of course these are beyond repair, but still the architecture is interesting enough, as nearly all of the old and abandoned buildings, have been build from lime stone. I wondered about this many times, until I read, that if we go even further back in the history, nearly all of the buildings in Tallinn were build from lime stone, as there was a quarry so close to the city. However, the article also claimed, that lime stone is a really hard construction material, but to my eyes it seems to be crumbling quite easily.

- So the title says that this is a warehouse. Seriously, I cannot be hundred percent sure about that, as it's hard to explore a building, which is mostly burned and roof collapsed. But when looking at the exteriors, it could have been a some kind of warehouse and then again not. Another interesting detail was that while walking around the building, we stumbled on to some Finnish persons wallet...robbed from all of the valuable things and what was left was some library cards which still showed name. Hopefully you got your credit cards cancelled in time...

- The entry to the burned and collapsed second floor. Even when it's in a life threatening condition, someone had still used the place to take his daily dosage of drugs, as immediately when getting into the second floor, there was drug needles inside.
