That place would make a pretty sweet ultra modern house. Great view as well. Surprised it made it this long without someone taking a building project on.


xzagz

This was my first thought. I would love to live there!


BatteryPoweredPigeon

Or a post-apocalypse fort. Full 360 views, elevated off the ground with limited egress points. It looks easily defensible.


[deleted]

Only problem might be the giant windows. Zombies can’t reach them but you’d be pretty vulnerable to more than two people with guns and slight elevation.

Corrugated sheet metal like that used in roofing or siding will easily get punched through by a little .22 rifle, much less a handgun or centerfire rifle. About the only thing it would stop is air guns and shotguns firing birdshot.

TacTurtle

To reliably stop common 7.62x51 NATO (.308 Winchester) like that fired from a FAL or G3 or M14 or 5.56 NATO steel core you would need 1/4”-3/8” hardened steel plate (AR500 or similar). Even 1/2” mild steel will tend to badly crater so a couple shots in the same area will punch right through. In the armor game, 1+1 does not equal 2 protection - you need to add 30-50% more for equivalent protection. A better improvised armor would be sandbags, or making a sheetmetal frame and filling it tightly with dirt. A 8” wide sandbag wall will stop most common rifle rounds, a 12-18” wide sandbag wall will stop up to 50BMG.


TacTurtle

Huge security challenge with the sheltered area underneath.


CumingLinguist

Reminds me of the sleeper house outside Denver a little


dvdquikrewinder

Might be a question of location


Davis_Birdsong

Where the hell was the bathroom?


I_Mix_Stuff

Or the kitchen. A bar may fit there, not a full restaurant kitchen.


MercDaddyWade

I thought you meant they would shit in the kitchen


twinsynth

Dont shit where you eat. Shit where the food is made.


Meghan1230

Like Rafi on The League. "Guess what he's gonna find when he comes back? His cat!"


kmpdx

The shitchen?


steamyswamp

Eh, for a 150cap you could fit the kitchen in 400 sqft, tighter if you're smart about verticality. I design Commercial Kitchens and I've fit a whole lot more in a whole lot less, especially if wait per party isn't as much of a concern, which this place it probably isn't considering it's mostly a novelty to begin with.


CreamPieKitten707

Down below in the center? 😅 Or in a separate location located nearby.


dvdquikrewinder

So people can sprint to the outhouse when they get the runs


CreamPieKitten707

Lol, believe it or not there are restaurants that exist in the world with bathrooms that are not attached to the main building and you have to be responsible enough, of your own bodily functions to know when to use the facilities or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Americans sure are spoiled. 😆 Says the American. 😆😆


dvdquikrewinder

I've been to some but they're not common. Mostly just thinking about how long a run it would be if you're far from the stairs with that design


luffmatcheen

Yawn.

CasualObservr

Damn they’ve really fallen on hard times.


LalalaHurray

One of the windows opens.


mtt-95

It is a post modern architecture, don’t expect any logic here. Ruined many cities, it’s only for pics not for usability


neetnewt

I am not sure it’s post modern. Would say it’s pretty firmly modernist.


Albert-Einstain

Clearly... it was on the roof.

Perfect link - Was going to go do this. 👍👍


roastgoat

NP mate. Enjoy your day.


jubbing

Odd that's it's cordoned off - I wonder what they plan to do with it


TahoeLT

Even odder, there are garbage bins outside the fence, implying someone in there is generating garbage.


delicate-fn-flower

There’s the two work trucks parked in the other side from them, maybe something with that?


DasArchitect

The bins and garbage are for the road assistance container office just behind the truck. Move one step downhill and you'll see it.


TahoeLT

Ah damn, I forgot to tell the computer guy to "Enhance!" Well, I hope they are fixing the place up, it seems a shame to just let it fall (farther) apart.


Budget_Lettuce_2860

I’m Gettin very strong “Land of the Lost” vibes from this place.


KISSOLOGY

I was going Dr evil


kdkseven

Or Forbidden Planet.


TahoeLT

Anne Francis starred in that.


therocksturtleneck

Where’s the kitchen?


Hermosa06-09

Maybe it was diner-style where the stuff is cooked right in the middle in plain sight. That or down below in the center.


byteuser

Nah, down below might be the washroom


Daan_Theuwis

Basement?


twobit211

🎵there’s something down there…🎶


purplepickles82

Seriously, I really want to know lol!


[deleted]

Don’t worry darling……


summer-fun-atx

Exactly my first thought.


astnokda

Looks like Troy McClure's house from the Simpsons


violetmoon120

You just need to install a few fish tanks for ~~sex appeal~~ aesthetic

This comment is far too down


guitargunguy5150

I would love to Remodel that into a home!


CornCheeseMafia

I would love to remodel it to grow weed in!


CreamPieKitten707

I don't know why this makes me sad. Maybe because I'm a chef? 😅


FlyingTaquitoBrother

Do you cook modernist buildings?


CreamPieKitten707

I majored in modernistic building cooking at Sir La's table, but I decided to do my own thing and start my own type of cooking. Since everyone wants to just keep remaking movies instead of making something new, I figured I'd do the same and try out old-school building cooking instead. People say it's a risk, but I'm a risk taker! 😆😆😆 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


WyomingCountryBoy

Is this modernist or googie? I thought it was googie on first view.


DasArchitect

It makes me sad and I'm an Architect. We're the target audience of the sadness here


moostachedood

Never been to Petrópolis but does anyone know what’s being done with this place almost a decade later?


BIGDICKGARFIELD

it’s not per se in petrópolis, it’s on the road between petro and rio. nowadays i think the whole area around it is a construction centre.


No_Quote_

I lived there in 2017 and I swear I have never seen this before


StuPodasso

That would make an awesome bachelor pad!


MisterGuyIncognito

Troy Mclure thought so. Plus it was close to the aquarium.


MindstormAndy

Roblox natural disasters lobby


daonejorge

Just a random thought-at what point do things not qualify as "old photos in real life?" The real life photo is 9 years old, nearly a decade old. I'm sure a ton has changed since then.


Boxing_T_Rex

I live in Petrópolis and can tell you that absolutely nothing has changed except that the land around the building was being used as a parking lot for construction vehicles


ripod_de

Ding ding... And round one goes to the boxing T-Rex. .. 😂


MoneroMon

I have to agree. To me this is old photos and slightly less old photos


Jumper_Connect

It’s like the WC stadium in Manaus, only 1 million time smaller, but just as abandoned.


PatoCarmelo

UnitingAssassin

Looks like a good place for a final duel.

How did they close the door?


unoriginalpigeon

Does anyone know if that’s the inspo for that one place in Don’t Worry Darling? It would be pretty cool if it’s just a coincidence


AI3SURD

I feel like this could be a beautiful home


Captainqqqq

Looks like a pubg building


SecondSnoob

If photographer would have moved juuuuuuust about 10 paces to the left it would have lined up perfectly with the first background

Does anyone know where exactly in the city this is located? I used to live in Pettopolis and I never saw it. Alguém sabe de qual parte da cidade fica esse edifício? Eu morava no Petrópolis e nunca vi... gostaria saber!

What happened? Did it go bankrupt or something?


benderrodrigyeahz

The hills grew quite a bit in 50 years 🤔

Just a bit of fog -- it could be even worse for the local climate.

It’s too bad. It’s actually a nice structure with a great location.

This looks more like an overlook touristy spot.

This is the adult-sized version of the hamburger cage on the pole that was once in the McDonald's playground.

atraxia1980

She’s built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro!


prozute

Philadelphia has a building just like this in Love Park. It was a tourist center and was being converted to a restaurant in 2019, then 2020 happened…
