Hamilton Glass works
Seeing as how our treks land us in “the post industrial mother lode of Ontario” the City of Hamilton; we had driven past this location quite a few times. We both commented on how good it looked. Although the place had a run down look to it, it always seemed a little too active so we just kept going somewhere else. If we had any idea how great the place was inside we would have jumped on the opportunity. The Hamilton Glass works, or how its known by its last name, Consumer’s Glass receded deeper into our memories until one fall night I got a hasty text message from a friend of ours ….
"Found amazing place, you need to come NOW!....if not now, the weekend. Amazing location, call me."
When I got around to calling him, he was ecstatic. The place apparently looked like a spaceship had crashed inside. Once I opened the email with the photo I realized how wonderful the location looked inside. From the outside Consumers Glass just looked like a general warehouse with some small scale silos around back, inside about 70% of the building was storage for furniture, whatnot and industrial trash. Inside however right at the back of the plant was where the furnaces were including the molds where the various types of bottles got made. It was split into two levels, and although it looks bigger than it actually is in the photos, it's quite a small part of the actual plant itself.
