Abandoned grain elevators on Quai de la Pointe-du-Moulin

Abandoned grain elevators on Quai de la Pointe-du-Moulin

The name in French implies a windmill, of which there is none to be seen. These elevators haven't been used in decades (though the smaller Farine Five Roses, out of frame to the right, still operates). There've been various plans for these, but for now, they remain dormant, awaitng a new future ... or fate.
