Old factory graffiti corner

This massive old factory downtown must have made some serious stuff back in the day but I could not find any information on it on the internet. Now its a collection of warehousing and maybe living space. Looking way up, there was a door and window, suggesting a conveyor system was once there. I would guess steel industry perhaps.

Down at street level, the walls are covered in large street art, as seen behind three bins, blue and green. In the background, lights are on inside, so it must be in use for something.

A tour bus was parked back here, likely related to the Jazz fest which started today. I rode by but there were throngs of people and I was not prepared for walking and painting. Need my shoulder bag for that, and then park the bike. On the right you see the elaborately painted wall of the factory. As little as 3 or 4 years ago these walls were all clean brick. Now they are painted black and plastered with art.
