Wonder bread factory
The wonder bread factory was built in 1923, It was once an industrial icon of buffalo's east side.
While it was in operation, the facility produced the classic mid century staple, As well as hostess brand snacks. The first floor held massive wonder ovens, making the surrounding neighbor hood smell faintly of bread.
The 180,000 square foot steel reinforced concrete building was built with tall ceilings, large south facing windows, and an open layout to maximize the natural light. The blonde brick exterior was topped with roman arch style windows that were popular with mill buildings in the late 19th century.
The factory closed in 2004 and has been empty ever since, in an ever worsening state of decay, around 2010 (the same year the building was listed for sale for $800,000) the letter B from the giant wonder bread sign at the top of the building mysteriously went missing some months later the N followed and later the E.
The factory Remains Abandoned Today, with just enough fading letters intact to make out its former name.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!!!
It does have asbestos warning signs, so if you must explore, make sure to wear a mask!
It is also easy to get into, go around the left side of the building into the alley for access inside.
ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
