This building was created in 1865 as 3 houses with 4 floors. In 1961 it was transformed into what will become the most legendary boxing arena in the US. Scenes were even shot for “Rocky V”. We too were sweating here during our journey in search of the ring through this building full of booby traps, and accompanied by a blurry squatter with a Metallica T-shirt.
Traveling and photographing with a fascination for abandoned architecture and faded glory, Jef Peeters seeks and explores lost and forgotten places to be rediscovered. He captures the soul and forgotten stories and turns them into narrative images.
