This building is owned by the STM (Montreal’s public transportation agency) and was probably built around the 50’s, just on the onset of the decline of the industrial era.
What we may mistake for poor maintenance and care of the building may very well be in fact intentional, especially when one takes in consideration the vocation of the location.

“21″ is the cemetery of the STM.
It is where they put the destroyed and vandalized buses that are of no use anymore.

What monument would be more fitting than this then? When we know they dispose of the machinery here, can we not see this building as a mechanical mausoleum?
