Hi all, first time poster in Dgrin 
Hope these shots are in the right forum, I did a quick search and other urb exploration threads were in here.
The Damen silos are a long abandoned factory near the chicago river on the near south side. I've tried to google up some history on the place but all I could find was that it was used for storing glass making materials. It consists of 3 structures, the actual silos, an office building/warehouse, and loading docks. Here are the some of my favorites, and here's a link to the full gallery. Comments/critiques appreciated, composition, technique, b/w conversion, you name it.

I have a penchant for this stuff of course, so I am really loving your shots and your use of b/w. Love the lines in the last one in particular.
When I traveled out to Chicago to explore I sure as heck missed these beauties!
I removed the map link you had in your OP simply because I understand where things like that can lead.
Great set!
