About 1933 Old Millfun
1933 Old Millfun was built in 1933 as a state-of-the-art slaughterhouse with a unique double-helix concrete ramp system. The building was designed by a British architect and combines Bauhaus and art deco elements. Since 2008 it has been reborn as a creative complex with design shops, art spaces, restaurants, and photo studios. The maze-like walkways and dramatic light make it a favorite spot for photographers.
