Description

Name aside (which suggests something like a knife-store), this place is nothing but an old relic which evaded the wrecking ball for far, far too long. The building standing in this part of the old East Point, the slaughterhouse, is the lone survivor of over a square mile of collapsed buildings and empty, gravel-strewn lots. The approach is unnervingly open, unless you use the old cattle tunnel, which lets out across the road. And that journey, through hundreds of yards of low and noisome concrete, is enough to make even the Kindred feel like prey. The slaughterhouse is full of that feeling, and that’s one reason to go there when you don’t want to be disturbed. The other is the soundproofing.

As a monument to the dominance of predator over prey and Man over Beast, the slaughterhouse has a certain resonance for Kindred. Sturdy construction and compartmentalized design make the slaughterhouse a suitable haven (though perhaps not recommended...), while it’s isolation and bloody history make it a good place to train with weapons, fists and noise making handguns.

The Old East Point Cutlery would be one of the city’s historical landmarks as it’s one of the buildings to have survived the burning of Atlanta, if the thought of it didn’t make the kine nauseous. When the slaughterhouse was originally built, cattle were slaughtered without first being stunned. Their piteous cries carried for a radius of a mile, at least. The solution was a thick lining wall that kept sound within the abattoir; this construction is one of the reasons the building still stands.
