Very cool to see. I spent two summers working in the plant while going to college and eighteen years working for Shaw-Walker in various roles after I graduated. It is nice to see someone is finally going to put this historic building to use again. I hope their development project is a fantastic success.
I went in this building as a teenager one night with some friends and it was the creepiest yet coolest buildings I’ve explored
I would like my ghost investigation team to go in. LEGALLY. lol I would like to know who I can talk to?"
@@mysticchicsparanormal well they ended up demolishing a good portion of the building but it’s attached to the watermark in Muskegon 930 Washington ave , Muskegon 49441
@@mysticchicsparanormal we just snuck in at night so not sure who you would contact lol
My father retired from Knoll (Shaw Walker) He started as a mail boy at Shaw Walker and retired as one of the heads of quality control. We were allowed to tour the building once a year. It was so cool, such a vibrant factory in it's day!
I think this is wonderful! Thank you for investing in Muskegon! Thanks also for a look inside this huge building, it’s magnificent!
So many cities have refurbished historic buildings like this. We, have not. I think it's great that they are putting this effort into saving so much history. We have lost a lot of our historic building in the name of progress. What ended up replacing them is a poor exchange. Either crappy, soulless new construction or vacant empty land. Thank you, from a native.
How cool is that! My dad worked there years ago!! Still have an old Shaw Walker fire file from there. I hope all the plans get carried through! So much disappointment in Muskegon, I really hope this works out! It sounds fantastic!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for this. I think Muskegon has a great progressive Mayor and this will really him to revitalize the city. Wow, the developer sounds like he knows his stuff. In Grand Haven where I live the local idiots demolished the historic court house, post office, Carnegie library
ALWAYS wondered what it looked like inside there
I know another building in the Heights that would welcome someone with a vision to come forth. It's also a furniture manufacturing facility with 68 years in West Michigan. I have heard the stories about those days. All these families knew each other way back when... EH Sheldon, Shaw- Walker, Browne-Morse and others. This was probably the furniture capitol of the US! But these buildings were built very well. That Shaw-Walker building is HUGE! Best of luck!
I'm glad to see somebody finally doing this. Can't wait to see it finished.
This is Awesome ! They should name it the "Shaw Walker Redemption Complex" :)
I remember going into that building with my buddies in high school. Super cool place!
My hometown has changed so much 💪🏾
Makes no sense to have such pricy condos & a city that cannot offer enough jobs with good pay.
Really hope that they do right by this. Hope that the people who really need a place be considered and that rent is not so expensive. The rent is not out of reach for many people who really need a decent place to live. Praying that everything goes right.
I hope he realizes Muskegon isn't a rich city. It's great what he's doing, But people need affordable living in that area. Not $2000 dollar a month condos. I wish more people realized we need to be helping people afford good housing.

A request and a question. Please work with the local repurpose stores before demolition starts. My question is what is the plan for disposal of the remaining debree, particularly the hazardous materials mentioned? Where will all of it end up?
Incredible
before it's demolished, some film maker might want to use it, as a backdrop to an apocalyptic storyline....that's what it's reminded me of, for the past few years..
Love to see this
i live off southern 4 blocks away. will this enhance my neighborhood...who knows. the need is there. good lukk to muskegon.
I worked on the second floor in shipping as an 19 year old. I worked on the 5th floor in finishing as an 18 year old.
I worked in 1930s water plant and machine shop had the same woodblock floor The wood absorbs noise, oils, is less hard on the feet and acts as a shock absorber if heavy equipment is dropped Still have it today
Wzzm does urban exploring now. 😯
I don't consider building over built if they don't use the local building regulation, those are minimal and only change when they fail and prove they are substandard.
In what year they stop making furniture in this factory?
Why did it have to be so many years before they renovated?
👍👍👍
I didn’t know if you saw this, but I thought that you would enjoy watching it!! 😋
Living close to it and driving past it everyday I would like to see it demolished.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to tear. It down it seems like. There is a lot work and money to fix this
Sadly, this has been the mentality of Muskegon leaders for years. Financially, it makes more sense to rebuild. But, if you don't preserve history, it makes it harder to appreciate advancements in life. Sure, they could make new, beautiful units and that would be fine. We have lost a LOT of our history here and I would like to commend those involved for trying to preserve something that a lot of folks around here would like to keep.
I don't think a building this big couldn't be torn and rebuilt for 220m. If the foundation and structural integrity is as good as they're saying remodeling is probably more space for the money.
Leave it alome
Maybe you'll find some "classified " files in there. 🤣
People like you are a special kind of mentally ill.
The union, workers in 1972 we’re making 20$ an hour , boss said they make as much as i do , shut this thing down , the union killed Muskegon
Show me a check stub that supports that claim. $20/hour in 1972 is ridiculous. I started at the papermill in '98 making less than $16/hour and that was a very good wage.

Would be nice to see what he is talking about move the camera
Very cool however I hope Muskegon doesn’t turn into grand haven and have condos on every corner then the old folks move in and then don’t like all the downtown noise.. grays hairs please stay south
Horrible camera work,
the cameraman is his brother-in-law. be kind
