National Grocers - Food Wholesaler or Artist Colony?

Camels, dragons, and groceries, oh my!

When this photo appeared in the Kingston Whig-Standard, I couldn't help but think how an area with the longevity of the Hanley Spur would necessarily change its focus through the generations. From gritty industrial era to artist colony, it was bound to happen. Interior complete in January, 2020 showing robotics practice facility on the main floor:

A look inside the NGB colony reveals artists hard at work in a former warehouse. The building remains, its function changes, but it's clearly still serviceable. And visitable. And relatable. And hopefully, modellable!
